“Respect is allowing others their pace.”
There is a fine line
between inviting growth
and pushing for change.
You cannot decide
where someone else should be.
You cannot rush their processing.
You cannot demand their awakening.
Some people need silence.
Some need conversation.
Some don’t move much at all.
And that, too, is their choice.
Respect does not mean agreement.
It means allowing.
-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow: Processing at different speeds.
“May you carry a Soft heart and steady spine.”
Strength is not loud.
It is quiet and grounded.
Unmoved by pressure.
Standing firm does not mean you are rigid.
It means you are clear.
Clear about what is safe.
Clear about what is healthy.
Clear about what you will not accept again.
Boundaries change as life changes.
But in every season, your
safe space to be you matters.
Even if someone does not like it.
-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow: The fine line between pushing and respecting.
strength, healthy boundaries, self-respect, emotional safety, sovereignty, personal integrity
“We do not own anyone’s choice.”
There are moments
when someone decides you are no longer part of their life.
They may blame you.
They may rewrite the story, their way.
They may never return and you may not be ready to accept the return if it comes.
You may want to fix it at times.
Time does not always allow resolution for everyone, it carries a different impact for each individual.
Resolution comes in many forms but requires a synchronisity.
Boundaries dont disappear with resolutions, but they can widen when respected and honored as such.
You cannot force someone
into awareness, healing or readiness.
Their leaving is their process.
Even when it hurts.
You are allowed to grieve it
without chasing it, even if it takes a lifetime.
You are allowed to honor your truth
without defending it, just live it.
We do not own others process or soverienty.
We only our own.
-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow: The strength of standing firm.
