One of the most liberating things is realizing that you don't have to make excuses anymore for people who hurt you or make you feel bad about yourself. You're not responsible for fixing someone else's broken soul, nor are you responsible for ensuring their happiness on a daily basis. It's not your job to take the blame for their disenchantment with life.
Sometimes, when we love someone, we make a lot of excuses for poor treatment. We love them and want them to be happy, so we tell ourselves that the way they speak to us and the way they treat us is justified.
It's amazing when you realize that no, it's not okay.
It's even more amazing when you start to realize that putting up with it is a choice, not a life sentence.
