Please stop letting people play you. Trust your instincts, see their manipulation, and stop giving your energy to those who are hot+cold with you and don't appreciate the real you. Grieve, cleanse your energy, use boundaries, refocus, reground & move in the ways that honor YOU.
Dating in your 30s teaches you that chemistry is easy to find, but emotional maturity, consistency, and accountability are rare. Anyone can create a spark, but not everyone knows how to maintain something real.

I really wish I cared more though. I just kinda don’t right now like.. I’ve cared about and tended to other peoples emotions enough to last everybody a lifetime. Seriously
