So what does healed enough look like?
Like the title says, when can we say we've healed enough? I'm not saying being perfect or giving up, just accepting that you're good?
I (40m) have put a ton of work into myself, and It's taken me a lifetime, but over all I've been doing good for years now. I've been successful and I'm someone people respect.
That's not a brag, it's a damned miracle, because they're was a lot there lol. My life burned down around me so many times. I just never actual thought I'd get here.
Yet, I still find myself occasionally doing small things without realizing. Like turning all the lights on in the house when I'm alone for the first time in awhile, or needing a second to remind myself I'm okay once in a rare while.
Not big things, or unhealthy even. Just echoes that don't that have claws anymore.
I had every reason to feel broken, but I don't now.
I feel like that's good enough lol.
What do you think?
