The first time I held hands with my first boyfriend, he told me my hands were too dry & suggested *kindly* that I could use something to soften them because he loved holding my hand. He also then told me that I didn’t look good in jeans and he only wanted me to look my very best because I am so beautiful. He also told me he was with me for my brains and intelligence and because I was so strong and looks were not important to him. He then gave me *advice* on how I could get a flatter stomach by doing sit-ups. These were always ‘suggestions’ because he loved me so much and only wanted the best for me. People couch coercive control in benevolence and this is why it is difficult to talk about and so important to talk about.
I need you to understand that if someone is content to leave you in a place of confusion and hurt while you repeatedly ask for clarity, they don’t care about the impact of their actions on you. they’ve shown you exactly who they are: someone who only cares about their own comfort
Unrequited love is when "one person yearns for love from another individual that does not feel the same way". We become so lost in our feelings for a person, that we lose sight of the fact that they don't feel the same way — at least, not with the same intensity that we do.
It's crazy. I used to cry hard so over my ex. Cry with my whole body and soul.
Over small things. His responses to me.
His lack of response to me. When I felt confused about him, I'd sob. When I missed him, I'd weep. My body was physically rejecting him & I thought it was love.
Oh goodness!!
Hi 👋🏼🤠
I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time and am immensely grateful to be healthy and happy and surrounded by amazing people. I feel recharged and more ready than ever to launch a new vision of PL music and live events.
