🌷 Second Chances 🌷

Hey there,

I use to always give people second chances. Depending on who they were in my life, I would sometimes give more. With that said, people took advantage of it, and I ended up becoming a doormat.

I have now come to the point of forgiving that person though also setting boundaries. It is a must for protecting yourself mentally and sometimes physically.

My experiences haven’t been good and it took a lot of self reflection and understanding to get to the point I am at now.
It is also so difficult when it’s close family that do the most damage.

However, I have learnt some lessons which have made stronger and wiser.

Holding grudges makes your heart hard and to be able to release yourself from that negative energy you need to forgive and move on.

I hope this helps someone out there.

I wish there was a group page that we could have with instant messaging. Some people need more than a message and it’s good to connect with people who have gone through what you might be going through.

Peace & Love

It's always a good idea to weigh up the pros and cons before deciding to give someone a second chance.

If you give someone a second chance, it should be based on the following...

🔴 What was the previous relationship and how strong was it?

🟠 Why do you and/or the person want to reconcile?

🟡 Did you and/or the other person take responsibility and own your part in the situation that led to the relationship breakdown?

🟢 How have you and/or the other person grown and what did both of you learn in your time apart?

🔵 What's changed between then and now?

🟣 How are you going to make a future relationship with the other person better and healthier?
