Marital problems can make a 25 year old woman look 45. One of the fastest ways to age more than your real age is stress, marital stress tops it. Stop marrying vampires
I hope that after today I never hear about a woman’s self worth and purpose tied to only having children. Dolly Parton is everything and more and she wasn’t a mother. I NEVER want to hear anyone say that there is no purpose outside of being a mother after today
My biggest fear is getting married and my life doesn’t get significantly better than when I was single. There’s absolutely no reason why i should get married and look back and say those were “good times”.
Dating someone with no curiosity about you sounds exhausting. If you’re not curious about me, you don’t like me. You can be attracted to me. You can enjoy my attention. You can like how I make you feel. But if you don’t wonder what I think, what I love, what makes me laugh, what makes me quiet or who I am beneath what you can see then you don’t like me. You like the experience of me.
no one tells you how embarrassing it is to isolate because I'm not just abandoning the people I love, I feel detached from my entire reality & identity, all I can do is survive and spectate while everyone keeps living normally
In seasons of uncertainty, I look at myself in the mirror and remember: I have survived every version of life that once scared me. I may not know what comes next, but I know who I am.
I lost respect for a lot of people this year. Not because they changed but because I finally saw them for who they really are. I learned that action speak louder than words. I learned that people show up for who they wanna show up for. People pick and choose who to be loyal to, some people only show their true colours when it’s too late.
being a self-aware person doesn't mean i view myself as a good person. i think a lot of people get that confused. it literally means that i am vigilant of both my light and dark side. i have also made peace with my flaws even though i'm always working through them
o ponto de virada depois de anos de terapia em que a gente deixa de se sentir vítima de tudo e passa a apenas achar engraçado e curioso como os padrões se repetem e as pessoas são sempre previsíveis
No one talks about the heavy regret that comes with being vulnerable with someone you genuinely believed was a safe place, only to realise they weren’t. It’s not just embarrassment. It’s the feeling of wishing you could take every word back, wishing you had protected the parts of yourself you trusted them with. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t that they hurt you, it’s realising you were wrong about who you could safely be yourself with.
