Just Another C.U.R.E. Blog: Did I Lose Myself?

How often do you pause and ask yourself, “Am I losing myself in this relationship?” Maybe the thought hasn’t crossed your mind yet—but it should. Losing yourself doesn’t usually happen all at once. It begins subtly, like a whisper: putting your needs aside “just this time,” sacrificing your boundaries in the name of love, or silencing your voice to keep the peace. And before you know it, you’re showing up for everyone… except yourself.

Sound familiar?

If so, it’s time to pause and reflect—not with shame, but with compassion.

🌱 How did I get here?

You may have arrived at this point by constantly choosing connection over authenticity. Maybe you were raised to believe that love means selflessness, or perhaps you learned that prioritizing yourself is selfish. Over time, these small compromises—skipping your workouts, shelving your goals, tolerating disrespect—begin to erode your identity.

🌟 What do I want my life to look like?

This is your moment to dream again. What brings you peace? What do you miss about yourself—your hobbies, friendships, or even just the way you used to laugh? Picture a life where you are not only connected to others but deeply connected to yourself—where you have space to grow, breathe, and just be.

⚖️ What is my idea of a balanced relationship?

A healthy relationship doesn’t demand that you shrink to make it work. Instead, it allows you to be your full self. In a balanced partnership, there's mutual respect, shared responsibility, and room for individual passions and growth. You feel seen, heard, and valued—not for what you do, but for who you are.

🛤️ How do I get there?

Start small. Begin by honoring your own needs without guilt. Reconnect with what makes you you—read that book, call that friend, reclaim your time. Seek therapy, journaling, or intentional self-care practices. Most importantly, set boundaries and communicate them clearly. Healing starts with choosing yourself again and again, one decision at a time.
