I truly believe accountability is a radical act of love

Some people will only realize they need to grow when you are no longer willing to put up with the way they harm your boundaries and don’t acknowledge your needs.

Let me be clear, you cannot be responsible for other people’s growth—they have to decide to put in that work to listen, to learn, to apologize, to do better by you, others, & themselves.

Sometimes you have to choose to step away from a person, to watch them grow from a far, so that you can protect your boundaries, peace, & mental/physical health.

Knowing when to walk away from someone you love is hard, but at the end of the day I truly believe that the most growth happens in that space between processing & change.

You are freeing them to do better for themselves, & freeing yourself to better care for your needs.
