What does it mean to be independent? To me, it means not needing anyone else to take care of me and not needing to take care of anyone else. It means being able to walk away from any situation because I KNOW I have the power to nurture myself and I know I am not responsible for nurturing others. It means choosing relationships in which both parties encourage each other to find wholeness within themselves rather than seeking completion from one another. It means letting go of codependency, standing in my power as an individual and allowing others to do the same.
The more Independent I feel the more I feel like I have “nothing left to lose and nothing left to prove.” That balance is quite possibly the essence of freedom…but what do I know 🤣🎆
