A farmer and his son owned a beloved horse that helped the family earn a living. One day, the horse ran away and their neighbours exclaimed, “Your horse ran away, what terrible luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not.”
A few days later, the horse returned home, leading a few wild horses back to the farm as well. The neighbours shouted out, “Your horse has returned, and brought several horses home with him. What great luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not.”
Later that week, the farmer’s son tried to tame one of the horses and she threw him to the ground, breaking his leg. The neighbours cried, “Your son broke his leg, what terrible luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not.”
A few weeks later, soldiers from the national army marched through town, conscripting all boys for the army. They did not take the farmer’s son because of his broken leg. The neighbours shouted, “Your boy is spared, what tremendous luck!” To which the farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not."
Often times when you don't get what you want, or when events in life seem to not be working in your favor, this is the universe protecting you.

For me June 1st will always be the most important day of the year. Narcissistic abuse is THE existential issue of our lifetime, there is no form of abuse more insidious, no other abuse aimed at destroying our very essence...
If you are a narc abuse survivor, know that you were targeted for a reason, they saw in you what they couldn't see in themselves: someone free from the shackles of narcissistic supply, someone with access to positive emotions like joy and love... and they wanted to destroy it, but unfortunately for the narcissist, the human brain is incredibly neuroplastic, we CAN heal from the trauma they've placed upon us, we are not victims, we are survivors, and we WILL heal, together
