Krystle I just appreciate you so much. You have been through so much but you have worked on healing and you have come out on the other side with a deep understanding of what is important, what isn't, and how to apply self-care to keep yourself grounded and ok. I love that you are finding ways to share your journey and help others as they heal from trauma or even to SEE their trauma so they can think about starting to heal from it. No one is perfect and we all continue to grow and learn even as we come to good places so I hope you are able to feel you can continue sharing your wisdom and experiences to help others WITHOUT feeling people are putting you on a pedestal. What has been the overarching theme in your story ALWAYS is your realness. I appreciate that you still put yourself out there and try to help others despite all the trauma that has come from doing so in the past. My follow-through on making time for things sucks but I really hope to be able to continue to follow this substack and hear more about what you have learned and what the people around you have learned. I have been on my own journey of healing and moving forward but hearing other people's stories and perspective can only help that process. Keep being you my friend. 🤗
Yoav, I just adore you! Always have. I hope to come for that visit one day and spend real time getting to know you up close. But, I am beyond thankful for our virtual friendship over the years ... your love, support, and encouraging words have been wind beneath my wings in more ways than you know. When I see your name show up as someone who commented, I know it's always words of LOVE.. and it's that love that has kept me going so long. Thank you for being beautifully and wonderfully YOU <3
Well I figured it out that the first 20 min one continued on here 😂. I have to say a few things.. that part about who we attract is so on point! This is my life!! I’m struggling myself but for some reason people flock to me for help. So far in what I heard you’ve described my coworker “friend “ her issues got me so invested I had to take a leave of absence for the first time in 25 years at my job!!! The reason why she affected me so much was because I came from a bad relationship, my husband. He was the mental abuser and flower kind of guy you’re speaking on. Like how am i supposed to help this “friend “ if im still fuc***’up myself!!? Currently, I am back at work and it’s to the point I’m done! I don’t say 2 words because each time I attempt it gets worse. So I’m. DONE You know what that means for people like us. It’s very uncomfortable for me. I love to have fun, peace, love. My son is extremely mentally ill so my home life sucks. Going to work was my escape. I’m so happy I can relate to this. Not happy about the circumstances but once again you have touched on some real shit! At this point I’m going to have to learn to grow from you now. 🩷🩷🩷
I remember way back in the blog days! You were always real and spoke from the heart which kept me following you. I do have that book and even one of those shirts 😂. Thank you for sharing your story and being willing to discuss things that aren't easy. I look forward to the other parts!!!
