…NO to co-dependence…
Updated: Dec 16, 2020

‘I define co-dependence as a dis-ease characterized by a loss of identity.
To be co-dependent is to be out of touch with one’s feelings, needs and desires.
Co-dependence is fostered in unhealthy family systems.
Co-dependent behavior indicates that the person’s childhood needs were unmet, and therefore he cannot know who he is.’
-John Bradshaw
It’s perfectly all right to feel whatever I’m feeling.
All emotions, sans social/personal/judgemental labels, are held and accepted with great reverence and tenderness.
I am present for my 5-year-old neglected self wholeheartedly.
I am compassionate to my 11-year-old heartbroken self.
I empathize with my 15-year-old lost self. I choose to get in touch with my emotions whenever its called for.
I break the hand over chains of ‘ought to’, ‘should be’ and ‘has to’ to finally be ME.
I say no to fit in your pseudo box of right/wrong.
I don’t need OUTER validation/any kind of moral justification for self-care & personal boundaries.
I pass up toxic shaming and gaslighting to dance to ‘EXTERNAL’ tune.
NOW I honour my gift and will to choose.
NOW I choose awareness for my feelings.
NOW I know my priceless worth is being complete ME.
