I never want to be jaded, spiteful and heavy but it’s so easy to become that especially as a woman. You have to pour into who and what is worth your time and make sacrifices you hopefully won’t grow to resent later
Like as a young lady who watched my dad build prime real estate for every woman he has ever dated, I quite literally am so unimpressed by men who think the bare minimum should get them a medal lmao
My parents were in the middle of an argument when my dad proudly said, “I bought you a house and a car,” and my mum casually responded, “That’s standard procedure.” LMAOOO
I think a lot of people (including myself) hate the idea that their pain and relationship anxieties could’ve caused massive destruction within another human being. I realize that intention vs. impact is a lesson that a lot of people stay stagnant within, you gotta face that shame
I’ve been thinking about this Simone de Beauvoir quote, “The average Western male’s ideal is a woman who freely accepts his domination, who does not accept his ideas without some discussion, but who yields to his reasoning, who intelligently resists but yields in the end.”
