Joy Wasted with KB Dickey

Losing faith in the ones we love can hit harder than a ton of bricks. It’s like, you expect them to be there, to have your back, but then they drop the ball, again and again. And what hurts the most? Those promises to change that never quite see the light of day.

So, how do we deal with this rollercoaster of emotions and still keep the love and respect intact? It’s a real head-scratcher, ain’t it? Well, let me share a few thoughts on this wild ride.

First off, it’s okay to feel disappointed. Let those feelings out, whether it’s through a good cry, venting to a friend, or scribbling in your journal. Holding it in just adds to the weight on your shoulders.

Next up, set some boundaries. Yep, you heard me right. Sometimes, you gotta draw the line to protect your own sanity. It’s about finding that balance between giving chances and knowing when enough is enough.

Communication is key, my friend. Talk it out with them. Let them know how their broken promises make you feel. Maybe they don’t even realize the impact of their actions. Keeping those lines of communication open can work wonders.

But here’s the kicker – don’t forget about yourself in all of this. Take care of number one (that’s you!), indulge in self-care, and surround yourself with positive vibes. You deserve happiness and peace of mind too.

And hey, if after all is said and done, you still find yourself at a crossroads, it’s okay to take a step back. Sometimes, loving from a distance is the best way to protect your heart.

Remember, life’s too short to dwell on disappointments. Keep the faith in yourself, stay true to your values, and trust that everything will work out in the end, one way or another.
