There is a real epidemic of people believing that they can’t have something. I’m not sure where it all stems from since everyone’s lives are different, which means the origin of their beliefs are different.

How did I get stuck in the cycle of abuse over and over again? I asked this question to myself a lot and found that many others do, too. Even if we understand what got us here in the first place, we don’t understand why we keep going back to relationships where we’re treated like […]
