Have you allowed yourself to receive care? 🤝

For many who grew up with inconsistent or unhealthy attachments, receiving doesn’t come easily. 🙅🏻♂️🙅🏻♀️

We learn to over-give instead — to over-do, over-extend, over-prove — because somewhere along the way, care felt conditional.
Like we had to earn being seen, held, or safe. 🥇
As a child, I believed that giving more than enough was the only way to matter.
If I offered something extra… maybe then I’d be noticed. Maybe then I’d be held.
And here I am now, on a Qantas flight (QF19) from Sydney to Manila, simply allowing myself to receive the crew’s care and hospitality — no proving, no performing.
Just receiving.
And I caught myself thinking:
“Wow, Universe… this feels so good. I like it. Let’s do this again!”
Healing isn’t only about learning to give less.
Sometimes, it’s about finally letting ourselves receive. 🤍
Thank you, Qantas.
Thank you, world 🌍
