i deserve a calm relationship that's good for my mental health, heart, and nervous system. a lover who's my bestie, my safe space, and soothes my soul during stressful situations. Life is tough enough, i deserve someone who brings me peace, not problems.
princess treatment doesn't mean you buy her flowers. it means you listen, you protect, you lead, you're humble, you communicate. You don't let her go to sleep crying or upset. You don't make her feel like you are hard to love. You're her peace in chaos and her home.
I wanna experience a man loving me so much, that hurting me is unfathomable to him … even when we’re not seeing eye to eye. On our worst days, I’m still the apple of his eye.
i'm sorry but sex will never be enough just for me to stick around. I need my soul fed. Spiritual growth. Deep conversations. Genuine effort. Emotional intelligence. Consistency.
I'm a lover girl and I'm not afraid embarrassed to admit that. I'll treat my man as good as he treats me. Surprises and amazing meals will always come from me. Reciprocity is the key to a long lasting relationship.
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
My best advice for any Believer, is to keep doing the work. The quiet work. The unseen, unvalidated, unsexy work. The kind that stretches you in silence. That’s the space where character is built. That’s what makes the blessings worth it. That’s the stuff God honors.
this old lady just said to me “growth is realizing that someone’s inconsistency is a sign to step back, not a challenge to prove your worth” and i think y’all need to engrave this into your soul.
a therapist on tiktok said…. “no one notices your sadness until it turns into anger, and then you’re the problem. healing is realizing you became the angry person because no one saw your sadness first” felt that.
For my birthday this year all I’m asking God for is to lead me in the direction of things and people that cause me to stay happy. I want my life to be filled with so much joy and laughter
I don't apologize for outgrowing my old thoughts. My past opinions were perfectly sized for who I was back then—they'd be a straightjacket for the person I'm becoming, now.
breakups are ok. losing friends is ok. moving on is ok. healing is ok. saying no is ok. being alone is ok. what is NOT ok is staying somewhere where you don't feel happy, valued, loved or appreciated.
this generation doesn’t know how to build healthy relationships.. we end up saying stuff like “i don’t owe anyone anything.” you do owe people something. you owe those you offended an apology. you owe those who gave you support, gratitude (1/2)
