I cannot stress enough how important it is to speak up for yourself when someone is crossing your boundaries or dismissing your feelings. You are your biggest advocate. No one else can read your mind or feel what you feel.
a lady on TikTok just said, “he never knew i could’ve supported him through all his dreams, because he never invited me to dream with him.” and i couldn’t stop thinking about how many plans i made in my head for someone who never made space for me in theirs.
You should never be expected to be the bigger person when you didn't create the discomfort in the first place. Too many people cause the chaos, cross the line, then want you to Swallow vour feelings just to keep the peace, Nah. Accountability matters.
Neglect is abuse.
Ignoring someone’s needs, feelings, and existence sends one message over and over:
“You don’t matter.”
Some people weaponize silence to make you forget your worth.
I realized people only like you when you're easy to benefit from. When you say yes, stay quiet, and let things slide, they love you. But once you start saying no, setting boundaries, and standing on what's right for you, everything changes. Suddenly you got an attitude. Suddenly you're the problem. Truth is, they never respected you, they just liked your silence. I'm not being difficult, I'm being real. If me protecting my peace offends you, that's your issue, not mine.
From pure excitement to my worst nightmare…this is uncharted territory for me that I’m trying to figure out how to navigate all the while not questioning God
