Tbh I’m comfortable being who I am. Not pressed to fit in, not worried about going out partying, not worried about having g a lot of friends, just being me, staying out the way, staying in my own lane & just doing what works for me!
I’m in a calm, secluded phase of my life, moving in silence, making big girl decisions, and not needing opinions or applause. Just focused, aligned, and trusting that everything I’m building will speak for itself.
You deserve a calm relationship that's good for your mental health, heart, and nervous system. A lover who's your bestie, your safe space, and soothes your soul during stressful situations. Life is tough enough – you deserve someone who brings you peace, not problems.
when i like someone, i instantly start going too hard. i am too available, too giving, too loyal, too thoughtful, too reliable. i need to calm down and only be what someone is to me. that’s my problem. i always love how i want to be loved hoping it gets reciprocated
I stepped back to focus on my own life, keeping things private and embracing situations as they are. I’m staying in my lane, minding my own business, and protecting my peace ♥︎
When your mental health isn't in the best state, give yourself a break. Don't feel guilty for things you can't do. Normal things like eating, enjoying shopping, sleeping, or socializing may be difficult. Rest, recover and be kind to yourself, and know the bad times are temporary.
People who've experienced trauma often communicate in ways that aren't always understood. Sometimes, they overexplain everything. They apologize for things that aren't even their fault. They try to be as clear as possible so there's no chance of being misunderstood. And other times... they do the opposite. They go quiet. They stop explaining. They shut down. Not because they don't have anything to say but because, at some point, speaking up didn't feel safe. When someone's truth has been questioned, dismissed, or used against them enough times, they learn to protect themselves. Either by over-explaining... or by saying nothing at all. It's not attention-seeking. It's self-protection. It's what happens when someone had to learn that their voice wasn't always handled with care.
