I want to die having exhausted all my potential. I want to leave this world knowing that I gave it all that I could give it. I want to have uncovered and exhausted every gift and talent of mine.
i always allow life to pleasantly surprise me. even though i have mostly known disappointment in my relationships, i will always make room for the best that i know love is capable of giving.
and maybe one day we will tell a different story ❤️
we are going to get sick from the ways we internalize the things people do. worthiness shouldn't be innit.
just as we won't always like the people who like us, the people we like are not obligated to like us back. people act out of their interests & happiness. it's not personal.
"I'm not ready for a relationship"- someone who is in fact ready and actively searching, but doesn't find you worthy of a relationship with them, and is simply letting you down easy, but you will definitely find them in a serious, committed relationship in a month or two.
also you guys are terrible friends.
why would you be okay with making your friends feel this insignificant?
y'all need to release yourselves from centering your lives on men & romantic relationships. as if other relationships give a lesser and more inferior form of love.
loving myself made me view everything differently... now i can't even stomach the thought of anyone making me feel less than, staying where i'm not being nurtured and adored, or anything short of the respect and love that i deserve. i love that for me and wish that everyone.

i love happy me. but i also deeply care about sad and melancholic me because i just want to shelter her and allow her to thrive in spite of all the harshness of the world that she's had to endure. and i will fight for her to know deep joy in this lifetime.
