In life, it’s easy to lose sight of the presence of a gaslighter. No one tells you that a good person can consciously seek to hurt you, whether that be a lover, friend or a colleague.

A relationship should be an extension to your existing life, but they became obsessed and possessive. If they couldn’t have me, no one could. When the darkness began to lift, I channelled all those emotions into working on myself. I couldn’t make it go away by turning them into a villain. I reclaimed the power from what happened.

Notice gaslighting when you hear a mental fire alarm. People pleasing will just make you suffer.

Self-Love is love. Happy Valentine’s Day! Spread love and not hate.
