realizing that you’re incompatible with someone (because they don’t meet your basic standards of courtesy, respect and reciprocation) and choosing to walk away instead of forcing it/blaming yourself/fantasizing about their potential is a superpower. look how much you’ve grown.
the more you increase your emotional intelligence, the less you'll take things personally because you'll realize that most people aren't reacting to you, they're reacting to their own past, their own fears, their own struggles, their own bad days
there is something extremely attractive about someone who knows themselves. not in the sense that they’ve got it all figured out or mastered everything, but in the way their aura doesn’t beg to be understood. someone who moves with intention and lets their energy speak for them.

if you lack emotional intelligence we will never work out actually. i'm not teaching you how to apologize, how to take accountability, or how to treat me with respect. these are basic qualities you should already possess before entering a relationship.
