Healing is when you become harder to fool & easier to love. And maturing is realising you’re not just picking a partner. You’re picking how safe it’ll feel later. You’re choosing the soil from which your next seasons of self esteem will grow… or rot.
Y’all lack communication skills because instead of taking what the other person is saying into consideration... You become defensive bc you only listening to defend the points that make you look bad. That's the disconnect right there.
Done spending my life hoping people will show up, love me the way i love them, remain loyal etc.. I'm focused on myself for the first time in a long time. It's liberating but lonely at times. I officially shedded the skin of my old self ♥️
