Compromise

When we compromise too much — we become compromised.

Compromising looks like: holding space for someone, offering empathy and understanding, extending ourselves to make it work, going out of our way to make someone else feel better, holding our tongue, lowering our standards, slowing down, holding back.

We fetishizes it and package it up as ‘feminine love’. A woman who has the capacity to endlessly give and hold space — is the ideal we are conditioned for.

But its insidious. We stretch ourselves so far that we end up compromising on our wealth, our joy, our connection, our love of life, our opportunities. We unconsciously compromise ourselves out of our own life quality and stability.
