The more goals and dreams I accomplish, the more I realize it’s much more about the people I get to have in my life and who I become. The people around us and who we are is in many ways what our life is. The work of healing is not just to feel better, but to become the person we wish we would have had and continue to be this person for ourselves and everyone else we choose to have in our lives. #grownostr

Narcissists throw tantrums that are childish. It’s not easy to see it this way when we’re in the midst of it, and it’s definitely not safe to laugh at them for it. It can be helpful to look at it this way to help us cope with it or let it go afterwards though. It does not make it ok or right, but perhaps easier to deal with. #grownostr

Narcissists hate being exposed for anything that doesn't make them look good. They don't want the truth of the abuse to get out. Speak your truth, even if you need to do it in private. Find safe people who will listen and support you. They are out there and they want to help. It's one of the first steps to move forward. #grownostr
