In case you weren’t raised correctly, it is a man's job to set the tone in a relationship. Whether people want to admit it or not, a woman feeds off his energy.. his consistency, his intentions, his presence. She takes what he gives and reflects it. When a man leads with clarity, love, and respect, it creates a space where a woman can feel safe, soft, and secure. Vice versa, when he leads with confusion, mixed signals, and inconsistency, it forces her to operate in survival mode. She becomes guarded, unsure, and emotionally exhausted 💡
I believe in forgiveness and giving people grace, but I deeply believe that everyone knows what they’re doing. So while forgiveness is on the table, reconnection and re-establishing a relationship is not. You did what you did knowing how it would impact me & that’s enough for me
every week i need what i call a “nothing” day. no responsibilities, no going outside, no hard labor. Just rest & self-care. I live by that & highly encourage it
To be a person of standards, you make it clear that there’s places you don’t go, things you won’t do, and words that can’t be said to you. No exceptions.
delayed grief is dangerous. you don't cry. you're numb, and you move on like nothing significant happened. you keep suppressing everything until the day it finally escapes, and when it does, it's like a dam bursting, flooding your mind and heart, making it difficult to cope
