Nobody prepares you for the fact that you will go through some of the most heart shattering experiences of your life and are still expected to show up for work. Take care of yourself. Pay your bills. Meet your goals. Just carry on… it’s awful
I can understand the disappointment but expecting them to pay you back is unreasonable. Taking care of your child is your responsibility, it’s not a loan.
I’ve learnt creation of that really starts from home, from a young age.Your childhood environment plays a huge role in this.
Maintaining it, is on you. You need to water that tree everyday so it gives you shelter from the world.
Being an educated woman is such a flex. Earning a degree, regardless of the career path you chose, is a huge accomplishment. You put in the work, stayed committed, and made it happen and that’s major.
i feel like dating a stingy person is worse than dating someone that doesn’t have any money. bc stinginess is a genuine character flaw , stingy people aren’t just stingy financially, they’re stingy with themselves, stingy with effort, stingy with thoughtfulness and more.
When I was young I use to be less of a people pleaser than I was over my adult life trying to fit in.
I’m relearning to find my space again and my comfort, a lot of it came with walking alone and having boundaries.
Boundaries will save you.
i will say this over and over again until the ex propaganda dies out - we haven’t met half of the people that are going to love us and we will never get to meet them if we go back to our exes. let’s make meeting new people great again.
