I stopped telling people when my mental health starts slipping again. Once I heard someone say how exhausting it is to love someone with depression and anxiety, it stayed with me. I never want to feel like I’m draining the people I care about while I’m barely keeping myself afloat. So I go quiet. I carry it alone. Not because I want to, but because being seen as a burden hurts more than the silence.
Micro cheating is cheating. If you're talking to someone else without your partner knowing, then that's cheating. If you're going out with someone who's not a friend or not blood-related and your partner doesn't know, that's also cheating. If you're joking around with someone in a flirty way, that's cheating too.If you're flooding someone's inbox with messages without your partner knowing, that's cheating as well, especially if you're deleting the conversation because you don't want your partner to get mad. Well, that's also cheating, darling.
Love after 25 is different. You’re not looking for sparks. You’re looking for stability, kindness and shared goals. You’ve outgrown games and butterflies. You’re craving peace, emotional safety, and someone whose future aligns with yours.
I like being the way I am, a little distant from everyone, direct when necessary, with a serious face, I don't talk to just anyone, nor do I try to fit in where I don't want to be, and the truth is I am calm and at peace like this
I definitely believe in God. But I feel guilty because I do not pray and worship him like I should. I feel like I take control of my life and the control should be in his hands. I just need to get back to him.
Tomorrow makes two years since me & my fiancé been with each other, no it hasn’t been peaches and cream yes we had our times but we put in the work
God has put you at the right place at the right time. He has sent you divine connections, people that will go out of their way to be good to you. You couldn't make it happen. It's the favor of God bringing you into it.
I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.
i don't think you've found your person until you meet someone who will take care of things on your behalf, when you're unable to or just because. Without question or hesitation. Because they want to see you win in life and care about you. The ones who will move mountains for you.
a lesson i learned this year is that a person's capacity for growth is directly linked to how much truth they can face about themselves without running away
