Choosing Yourself Without Making Anyone the VillainIn this episode of Kerah Speaks, I’m talking about something I had to learn the hard way.There was a season where I stayed connected to people who didn’t truly nourish me. Not because they were bad. Not because I was better. But because I hadn’t healed the void inside of me yet.Sometimes we stay in spaces that don’t feed our soul because being alone feels heavier than being misaligned. Sometimes we confuse familiarity with connection. Sometimes we look to others to give us what we haven’t learned to give ourselves.In this episode, I reflect on: • Why we stay in relationships that leave us drained • The difference between connection and distraction • Healing the void instead of filling it • The quote that changed my perspective: We will always be in a relationship with ourselves • Becoming the person you’ve been waiting forThis isn’t about cutting people off in anger. It’s about choosing yourself honestly.If we’re always going to be in relationship with ourselves, why not build one that feels safe, nourishing, and true?⸻📌 DisclaimerI am not a licensed therapist or mental health professional.
