I'm unlearning everything I was as taught about being a woman. I don't want to become the sacrificing woman I saw around me the one who stayed quiet, adjusted endlessly, and slowly lost her voice, her thoughts, and her dreams. I don't want a life where my needs come last and my existence is defined by how much I give up. I'm choosing to speak, to want, to dream, and to live for myself, even if it makes people uncomfortable. I'm slowly understanding that choosing myself doesn't make me selfish, it's what's helping me heal. And becoming who I really am feels like something I don't need to apologize for anymore
Getting off of social media with the exception of TikTok for 3 months, popping out for a weekend, then doing all over again has to be the most therapeutic thing I’ve ever done. I have it down to a science now 😂😂.
Adulting has humbled me a lot . I finally understand why so many adults stop posting on social media or even deactivate their accounts. Life feels so much peaceful when everything isn't on display. Like they say , out of sight, out of mind.. There's something really comforting about people not knowing every detail of your life.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t need to date people who were raised off of survival, because I was raised on love. & me thinking I can fix people who have never experienced that has been my biggest downfall in my 20s thus far.
bitch i was depressed for months, nobody noticed. i still showed up for people even when i didn’t know how to show up for myself. that’s why i don’t buy the whole “i was going through something” excuse for treating people badly. we’re all going through something
I'm done dealing w nonchalant men. I am a lover girl! You have to tell me how you feel about me, I want to be babied, I want flowers & reassurance. I want quality time & random texts of how beautiful I am. I'm TOO good of a woman to receive anything less than princess treatment.
