Healing after narcissistic abuse means finally trusting your gut again. The truth? It wasn't your fault, you weren't "too much," and the person you loved was a mask. Rediscovering your reality is the ultimate act of defiance. 🦋

Red flags don’t always look scary; sometimes they look like 100 roses and non-stop praise. 🚩
Love bombing is an intense burst of affection used to gain control. If it feels too fast or too good to be true, trust your gut. Healthy love needs space to breathe, not a spotlight.

Narcissism is the choice to live in the shallows. It’s a silent pact to never glance below the waterline, preferring the comfort of a mirror to the clarity of the depths. True sight requires the courage to look past the reflection, but some would rather stay blind than see what’s real. 🌊

In my latest piece, "Beyond the Mask," I explore the weight of the "masks" we wear to navigate society. I encourage readers to peel back the layers of performance to find authentic connection and healing. A must-read on vulnerability and the true self. 🎭✨

Gaslighting isn’t just "lying"—it’s a psychological tactic used to make you question your own sanity, memory, or perception. 🚩
If someone constantly says "that never happened" or "you’re too sensitive" to dodge accountability, trust your gut. Your reality is valid. 🧠✨

Narcissists don’t see you; they see a mirror for their own ego. The charm is a mask, and the gaslighting is a tool to keep you doubting your own reality. Healing begins the moment you stop trying to change them and start choosing yourself. Stay grounded. 🦋

They don't want you; they want what you produce. Like a parasite, they drain your energy and creativity until you’re hollowed out.
Once your light is extinguished and you have nothing left to give, they abandon the remains without a second thought.
