**When you heal you understand that:**
– **Attention isn’t love.**
*Love is consistent care, sacrifice, and presence. Attention can be fleeting or self-serving.*
– **Bare minimum isn’t effort.**
*True effort means choosing to go beyond convenience—it shows intentionality and value.*
– **Healing isn’t linear.**
*There are ups and downs. Progress can feel like setbacks. But every step still counts.*
– **Jealousy isn’t affection.**
*Real affection fosters trust, not possessiveness. Jealousy reflects fear, not love.*
– **Control isn’t caring.**
*Caring empowers others. Control restricts them. Love supports freedom, not domination.*
– **Disrespect isn’t normal.**
*Mutual respect is the bare minimum for any healthy connection—never a luxury.*
– **Silence isn’t peace.**
*Peace includes honesty, understanding, and resolution—not just the absence of noise.*
– **Toxicity isn’t passion.**
*Intensity doesn’t equal depth. Real passion uplifts, it doesn’t drain or harm.*
– **Drama isn’t excitement.**
*Stability might feel boring when you’re used to chaos—but it’s where true joy grows.*
– **Fear isn’t loyalty.**
*Loyalty born from fear isn’t genuine. True loyalty is rooted in trust and choice.*
– **Gaslighting isn’t acceptable.**
*Twisting truth erodes reality. Healthy relationships are grounded in clarity and honesty.*
– **Listening isn’t understanding.**
*Hearing is passive; understanding requires empathy, reflection, and effort.*
– **Dependency isn’t security.**
*Security comes from trust and inner strength, not clinging out of fear or lack.*
– **Respect isn’t optional.**
*Without respect, love becomes manipulation or control. Respect is the framework everything else rests on.*
