Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; lean not onto your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which paths to take. (proverbs 3:5-6) ❤️ my fav of all time.
Sorry, but a partner who ruins your mental health cannot be the love of your life. Ever. I know you love them. I know you've built a future in your mind with them. I know you keep hoping they’ll change, that things will get better, that the good moments will eventually outweigh the bad.
But here's the truth you need to hear: real love doesn't destroy you. Real love doesn't leave you anxious, depressed, constantly questioning yourself, walking on eggshells, or losing pieces of who you are. That's not love, that's trauma bonding.
It took me a long time to realize I’m not “toxic” for no reason… disrespect is my trigger. I’m naturally chill, loving, easy to vibe with, and I give grace way longer than most people deserve. But the moment I feel played with or disrespected, something in me switches. My peace disappears, my patience runs out, and that soft version of me gets real sharp, real fast. Not because I’m mean… but because I know how much love I lead with before I ever snap. What you give me is what you get back. I’m still learning… but I’m also very aware 🧘🏽♀️✨
pride has ruined more relationships than mistakes ever did. i don’t want perfection, i want someone who can communicate, apologize, and repair instead of turning every issue into a standoff.
Y'all ever dealt with a person so manipulative and draining that you literally just give up on trying to get your point across? Because all they do is PURPOSELY try not to understand and flip it back on you?
If you want to spend your life with someone, you have to understand that there will be arguments, bad days, and good days, so learn to forgive. A relationship is more than just pictures and cute videos. Be humble.
This time I did not want to be the one who left the relationship when shit got tough…I stayed. I apologized. I’m committed. And now I see the difference. What real love is and what it feels like to know someone wants to be with you through ALL your flaws. And baggage.
And with those kind of people they do not like to change.
For me he allowed me to tell him, he reflected on it, and he’s making the necessary changes to love me correctly and for that I’d give him the world. I found someone that melts my heart every second of the day.
