I'm not toxic. I'm reactive. There's a person somewhere calling me difficult, and they're leaving out the part where they pushed every boundary I set, ignored every signal I gave, and then acted shocked when I finally stopped being gentle about it.
I don’t want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster. Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder. And if that means she becomes everything I wasnt… GOOD!
Sometimes as an adult you have to decide "this is the last time these people are gonna make me feel this way" and stand on it. Be it family, a relationship or a friendship.
When I leave people alone, I genuinely think I’m giving them what they want. Cuz it’s no way you did what you did & expected me to believe you still wanted me around.
Once u realize it ain’t no point in asking ppl why they did what they did bc it made u feel a type of way & u understand ppl do shit simply bc they want to w no reason or explanation behind it u’ll stop taking shit so personal 💯
