    20 | Dairy Detours: Forgetting about your arrows

    Have you ever held onto a fantasy about someone...clinging to the hope that if you just loved them enough, they’d finally change? In this episode of Diary Detours, I’m reading a free verse poem I wrote about feeling manipulated by someone I deeply cared for. I use the image of arrows to describe how their behavior repeatedly wounded me, and how I kept coming back for more, hoping the next time would be different. This is about breaking that cycle, accepting reality, and taking them off the pedestal I once put them on. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS A free verse poem about manipulation, false kindness, and emotional controlUsing the metaphor of “arrows” to describe repeated hurt and betrayalWhy we sometimes fantasize about a person’s potential instead of seeing who they really areLetting go of the need for approval or affection from someone who won’t give itThe role of journaling in recognizing—and finally breaking—unhealthy patternsRESOURCES Grab a journal from my shop: https://www.thestreetsofourlives.xyz/shopWant a free journal download?
