Narcs don't always get what they want!

...and they sure as hell don't want this:

"The most important thing you will ever do in your life is learn to embrace your unique, honest self. A boundless, infinitely populated universe and there is nothing else here quite like you. This is your power. All those things that make you strange and different are what make you irreplaceable."

— Beau Taplin • Unique Honest Self

The Best Revenge

"Truth is, the best revenge is seeking none at all and investing that energy in your own health and progress, prioritizing personal goals you’ve been neglecting, and working toward creating a healthy, happy and fulfilling life of your own."~Internal Acceptance Movement

In other words, just say

"FUCK 'EM!"

Not quite ready for DONE?

Don't let anyone dictate how or when you achieve your own unique version of DONE!

—"You may feel like you’re failing at recovery because you’ve been struggling for so long — but you’re not. Recovery isn’t a straight road. It isn’t something that happens over the course of a few days or months, or even a few years. It’s a path lined with ups and downs and road blocks and dead ends. It’s difficult and painful and exhausting. And it takes time. It takes time to unlearn the negative beliefs you’ve internalized. And it takes time to learn how to exist without using the behaviors you’ve depended on your whole life to survive. So if you’re feeling stuck right now, know that this is a part of your process. Know that it’s normal and not anything you need to be ashamed of. The fact that you’re still struggling doesn’t mean you’re going to be battling this forever. It just means that you have some more work to do. And that’s okay. You aren’t broken or hopeless. You’re wounded, but you can heal. You are healing, right now. Trust that you will get to where you need to be when it’s time. You’re doing the best you can to cope and make it through each day, and it’s enough. No matter where you’re at in your recovery, you’re enough." ~Daniell Koepke Internal Acceptance Movement 

How you know when you're "DONE"

IMO, you know you're done when the FOG (fear, obligation, guilt) lifts completely and you're left with NOTHING...no love, hate, anger, sadness...ZILCH!

No regrets either, that it took a life-threatening illness for me to understand just how toxic my relationships were. When waking up everyday is an awesome surprise, regrets are just wasted head-space.

Kinda like when I'm walking my big-ass German Shepherd and see a stranger coming toward us on the sidewalk and, without a word, nod or smile, I simply cross the street. I feel nothing for the stranger. My only thought is protecting my buddy, who gives me nothing but unconditional love.

Done is a journey but, damn, when you get there it's a great place to be!

FUCK 'EM
