to love someone as a friend is to be inconvenienced sometimes and that's okay. you have to show up for the people you care about and this whole hyper-independence mentality going around right now is really frustrating
I don’t give grace to people who try to assassinate my character, lie on my name, twist my words, rewrite history, play victim after provoking me, recruit others to misunderstand me, sabotage my growth, or disguise jealousy as concern. I don’t reward calculated disrespect! ✍️
I think there's something healthy about learning to tell people when their actions have bothered you instead of repeatedly swallowing your feelings until resentment builds up.
