my mom told me the difference btwn compromise and settling is you have to still be getting what you want when you compromise. it’s a shared win. settling is being okay with not getting what you want and that’s self betrayal.
Yesterday was Jhene Aiko’s brother birthday and he passed away 12yrs ago. She made a comment that said “ no one knows how triggering it is to post the same old pictures bc there will never be any new ones” and now im crying bc I felt that wholeheartedly 🥺💔 and this is what they mean when they say grieving is tricky bc it truly does sneak up on you at any given moment
