It is crazy how a single moment of misunderstanding can become so toxic that it makes you forget the thousands of lovely moments you have spent together with someone. Anger has a terrible way of rewriting history.
Highly recommend letting people know you're capable of madness from time to time. Especially if you're a quiet, soft spoken person. Disrespect sometimes needs to be met with disrespect.. let mfers know you can go from 0-100 real quick.
i saw a girl on tiktok who said "accountability is so important to me. nobody's perfect, but don't try to flip the script and make my reaction the issue when your actions lit the match" i felt this to the core.
Sometimes it doesn't work out with someone because they're a piece of shit who deserves a piece of shit and you're not a piece of shit. Know this and move on.
I crave emotional safety. I wanna be able to talk without my feelings being disregarded. I wanna share my thoughts without the fear of being embarrassed, dismissed or worried that it’ll be used against me later.
i hate how physical touch as a love language gets reduced to sex and kissing when it's more like... handholding, laying your head on their shoulder, putting your legs over their lap, tracing their palm, tucking your feet under their thighs. just touching for touching's sake.
This is the closure,
The lack of respect was the closure.
The lack of apology was the closure.
The lack of care was the closure.
The lack of accountability was the closure.
The lack of honesty was the closure.
Maturing is realizing that when you're in a relationship with someone who genuinely wants to grow with you, they will always bring up problems that don't sit right with them to your attention. It isn't a personal attack. It's a healthy sign that they value the relationship and want to make it work. All they are doing is bringing it to your attention to avoid the same mistake, so the relationship doesn't go down the drain.
