Maturing is realizing I am mean, but not in a bad way, just in an authentic way. I don’t disrespect people, but I’m not kissing your ass. I’m kind but not performative, and if I don’t like or want to do something, then I just don’t🤷🏽♀️
my mom once told me "accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others" and that shit is real.
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.
Me apaixonei por essa frase:
Se você ganha o seu próprio dinheiro e faz tudo por si mesma, um homem não tem muito a oferecer além do caráter, dos valores e da forma como te trata.
I used to tell myself “maybe they're going through something” to justify the way people treated me. But then I realised I was going through a lot too, and I still never treated anyone that way.
