& sometimes, We have to remind ourselves:

that we are not responsible for other people’s poor behaviour towards us, or their gaslighting, or their manipulation, or their unkindness. That’s on them. What’s on you is how you choose to respond, set boundaries, know your worth, and not let their actions impact the beautiful soul that you are.

You aren’t to blame for how others treat you—whether it’s gaslighting, manipulation, or unkindness. Their actions reflect them, not you. Focus on how you respond, set boundaries, and protect your worth. Don’t let their negativity dim your light.
