this hits deep. you’re so right—abandonment stings like it’s about you, but it’s really about them and what they were never willing to invest. love, real love, is a tether that holds even when it’s messy. when someone walks away that easily, it’s not a reflection of your worth—it’s proof they were just passing through, taking what they could. ‘Being needed is not the same as being loved’—damn, that’s a truth worth sitting with.
stop letting people consume you. they didn’t call? go to sleep. they didn’t message you? put your phone down and have a better day. they left you on read? delete the conversation. they didn’t make an effort? match their energy. never let your happiness depend on anyone
The healer also needs healing. The planner also needs surprises. The giver also needs to receive. The thoughtful also needs to be thought of. The considerate also needs to be considered.

Respecting your partner is deeper than just staying faithful. Respecting your partner means to also respect their voice and allow them to be heard. Respect is communication. Respect is avoiding the same mistakes or things you know will make your partner mad/sad. Respecting your partner is thinking before you speak. Respecting your partner is being their number one fan. Respect is sometimes ‘just’ an attempt to understand. Respect is empathy. Respect is effort. Respect is love.🫶🏽🫶🏽
Cheating isn’t the only bad thing that goes on in relationships…having a partner that continues to do something that triggers you after you repeatedly communicated that you don’t like it THEN gaslight you like you’re wrong and your feelings aren’t valid is one of the worst!!!!!!
