There have been a couple of people who used to maybe not treat me the best. Over the past couple of years, they have drastically changed that behavior. It's been challenging for me to ALLOW them to change and not respond to them the same way I used to (defensively).

Oooohh, I had a dream about that very thing! This white, sparkly, tall, hairless, skinny entity walking slowly towards me emanating threats and danger, but as he got closer and closer the feelings changed to unconditional love, but I was still terrified and confused about the vibe changes. It found me where I was hiding and held me like a baby to soothe me, and I tried so hard to calm all the way down, but I still nipped his forearm with my teeth even tho I couldn't bring myself to bite and claw to escape like I would have if it had been that close when it had the dangerous vibes. I feel like it was showing me I need to let ppl change as quickly as they can and greet every encounter fresh instead of holding them to who they were in the past.

We'll get there lol 😂💜
