It took me a while, but I finally realized what triggers my toxicity. It's disrespect. I can be chill, fun, easy to get along with. I can vibe with anybody. But the second I feel disrespected, everything in me shifts. My peace goes out the window, my patience disappears, and that soft version of me turns sharp real quick. I'm self-aware enough to know I'm a good woman. I'm kind, I'm genuine, I'm understanding, and I always try to lead with love. But that's exactly why disrespect hits so deep... because I know how much grace I give before I ever lose it. When I snap, it's never random, it's a reaction. What you put in is what you get out of me. Still, I'm learning. Learning not to let people pull me out of character.
Learning that not everyone deserves a response. Learning that peace is better than proving a point. Because growth isn't about never being triggered... it's about recognizing what triggers you and protecting yourself before you get there. Know your triggers.
Guard your peace. Stay away from the people, places, and situations that force you to become someone you've worked too hard to outgrow.
Turns out women get more autoimmune diseases from suppressed anger and trauma...so basically every time you don't flip a table, your immune system takes a hit. Moral of the story? Throw the fucking chair, girl. It's preventative medicine
i saw a girl on tiktok who said "accountability is so important to me. nobody's perfect, but don't try to flip the script and make my reaction the issue when your actions lit the match" i felt this to the core.
Finding out the reason Morticia cut her rose petals and left just the stem was because Gomez is allergic to roses, yet he still made her that gigantic conservatory. They NEVER EVER played about each other.
although i’m okay with being single, i can’t wait to meet someone who’s genuinely interested in me. the constant desire to talk, ask about my day and my feelings, share laughter, and truly be heard is so rare nowadays. nobody communicates anymore. real is rare.
People think depression means crying or being sad all the time, but sometimes it’s just feeling stuck, like the world’s moving and you’re not. You’re not really thinking or feeling, just existing. Not sad, just numb… and most people don’t get how hard that is.
how do you tell someone “i’m not ignoring you i’m just disconnected from reality right now and the days are all blurred together and i feel completely apathetic towards everyone/everything around me so it’s really hard for me to maintain a conversation” without saying that
A girl on tiktok said "detachment is crazy because you'll still care. still remember their birthday. still hope they're okay. you just stop showing it" and that's real life.
Mad cos she ain’t like me? Oh you mad cos nobody ever did it like me? All the care I would take, all the love that we made. Now you tryna find somebody to replace what I gave to ya?
