Never run back to what broke you

Never run back to what broke you

When we think about the phrase "Never run back to what broke you," it's important to consider the various ways in which we can be broken. Brokenness can come in many forms - a broken heart, a broken spirit, a broken trust, or a broken sense of self. Regardless of the specific type of brokenness we may have experienced, the underlying message remains the same: it is not healthy or productive to return to the source of our pain and suffering.

Running back to what broke us can be tempting for a variety of reasons. Perhaps we long for familiarity and comfort, even if that familiarity is associated with pain. Maybe we believe that we can fix what was broken, that we can somehow make things right again. Or it could be that we fear the unknown and would rather stay in a toxic situation than face the uncertainty of moving forward.

However, the reality is that returning to what broke us will only perpetuate our suffering. It is unlikely that the source of our pain has changed, and going back will likely only result in further hurt and disappointment. We must remember that we deserve better than to be in a situation that causes us harm, and that we have the strength and resilience to move on and heal.

Instead of running back to what broke us, we must focus on healing and rebuilding ourselves. This may involve seeking therapy or counseling, practicing self-care and self-love, setting boundaries with toxic people, or engaging in activities that bring us joy and fulfillment. It may also require us to let go of the past and forgive ourselves and others for the pain that was caused.

Ultimately, the path to healing and wholeness lies in moving forward, not in looking back. By choosing to break free from what broke us, we can create a brighter and more fulfilling future for ourselves.
