Please. Kindly. Date someone who actually desires you.
Not someone who desires what you can give them. Not someone who desires the aesthetic of you. Not someone who desires the photo dumps, the status, the validation of being seen with you. Date someone who desires you. Your presence. Your mind. Your quiet. Your laughter. Your ordinary days.
Date someone who wants to experience the beauty of life with you. Someone who wants to cook with you, laugh with you, share a meal with you. Someone who wants to take a walk to the park, have a picnic, nature, sit in comfortable silence at home. Someone who wants to visit museums, zoos, evening strolls. Someone who wants to snack together, bathe together, simply be together. Not someone who is only interested in the performance of love. Not someone who uses you for aesthetic dates and curated content. Not someone who encourages you to be financially reckless, clubbing everyday or emotionally drained.
Date someone who genuinely loves you.
Someone who loves you on the ordinary days. Someone who loves you when you are not dressed up. Someone who loves you when you are tired, quiet, struggling. Someone who loves you not for how you look on their arm, but for how you feel in their heart.
& There is a man out there who will adore tf out of you, provide for you, study your every needs, prioritize your pleasure, and love every second of making you happy. So please Never settle
If you ask me, I’d say leave dating to the bad bitches. Because somehow, they’re the ones setting standards every lady ends up benefiting from. They are the ones men complain about but still chase, still impress, still spend on. They sure started the ‘girlfriend allowance,’ ‘girlfriend proposal,’ ‘getting cars as birthday gifts or trips outta country,’ ‘period gifts,’ ‘dinner dates,’ ‘sponsor education outta country,’ ‘brunch dates,’ etc
NO WOMAN wants to constantly yell, argue, stress, cry, or live in fight or flight mode. She wants to be SOFT, but that only happens when you make her feel SAFE first.
No matter how hard things get, I will NEVER let anyone convince me I'm crazy, unhealthy, or insecure for having a NORMAL reaction to their HURTFUL behavior.
I don't think every relationship has to be repaired. Sometimes, things happen and they change the way you see a person forever.
You can forgive someone and still not want them in your life. You can wish them well and still know that you don't want to cross paths with them again.
I don't believe in forcing friendships after trust has been broken. I don't believe in pretending everything is okay just because enough time has passed. And I don't believe that every bridge has to be rebuilt simply because we once meant something to each other.
Sometimes, the best thing you can do is leave people where they left you, no checking up on each other every now and then just to prove that there are no hard feelings. Just let it end.
Some people belong in a chapter of your life that you have already finished reading.
Unfortunately, I believe in permanent fallouts, may we never cross paths again
Nobody prepares you for the amount of pain and grief you experience when you have to forgive yourself for believing someone was actually a genuine person. The hardest part isn't just their betrayal, it's the shame you carry for ignoring your instincts.
You have to be careful with the women who give you chance after chance. They’re not weak, they’re just hoping you’ll get it together. They remember every time you lied, every time you switched up, and every time you made them feel like they were not enough. They might forgive, they might try again, but once they’re done there ain’t no coming back from it. When a woman with a good heart decides she has had enough, she means it.
If he can't help himself from lusting over girls online while you're in your prime then imagine how things will be when you're pregnant, postpartum, aging.
