Until you start having honest conversations about who you truly are, what you struggle with, what you lack, and what you want, love will always be temporary. Honesty and communication are more important than anything else. If you value your fears over love and lie all the time to protect yourself, you will not have any success.

A big part of healing emotional neglect is to no longer neglect ourselves or chase validation/love from others. open up, be authentic, learn and take care of yourself.

The people who trigger us to feel negative emotions are messengers for unhealed parts of our being.
