there comes a point where repeating yourself just becomes begging someone to care. once i’ve told you what hurts me and nothing changes, i quietly move different. you can’t say you didn’t know
i cried alone, vented alone, calmed my anxiety attacks alone, felt alone, advised myself alone, spend time alone. no one lived my life, nor cried my tears, so no one has the right to judge my way of being.
I don't think people understand... You can literally drive someone to a point of not wanting to be bothered with you at all, on any level. Whether it's a friendship, relationship, family, etc. There's only so much a person can take.
I need to unlearn the habit of swallowing disrespect just to keep a bond alive. I empathize with people so much that I end up excusing things that hurt me. I keep choosing the bond over myself, hoping they’d offer me the same grace when I inevitably fall short. But they don’t.
Nobody can ever gaslight me into thinking i’m a bad person. I have my ways & i have my days but i’m solid and my love is real & genuine every step of the way.
