Let’s take our blinders and masks off. Let’s look back on the relationships that we had in 2024 and see if we can cultivate and grow those relationships. That would be the hope. We all need people in our lives. Some relationships will grow and maturewhile others will no longer represent who and what we are.
We need to allow people to be who they are. We are all made differently. So not everyone is going to be a good match. You are not going to get an award in heaven for suffering and continuing a relationship with that person that laughs at you, criticizesyou in a negative way. You are not going to get a gold star because you look the other way and allow the other person to degrade you.
Is this what you are used to? Domestic violence certainly crosses healthy boundaries.
There are consequences when we make mistakes. It is time to have those conversations about the mistakes we have made. Yes, both sides will need to look at the mistakes in your relationships, but wow if both parties look at the pros and cons in the relationshipand then work to correct the “mistakes”. What do you think the relationship will look like?
Let’s make 2025 about healthy relationships.
