Sometimes I be irritated with myself for how much I be caring, I be genuine, and I be expecting people to match that. Whole time everybody not built like that. I had to learn being a good person don’t mean everybody deserve access to me. I’m just careful who I show it to now
Good people have high levels of empathy, but once that empathy is exhausted, they switch to a state of objective observation. They see you for exactly who you are, without the filter of their love. This is why their anger feels so cold, it is the absence of the warmth you took for granted
It’s crazy when you finally realize being alone might actually be the safest way to live. You get older and start accepting that maybe that “forever person” just isn’t out there. People too busy being selfish, chasing attention, stuck on exes, or still healing from wounds they never admit they got. Then you meet one that halfway wants you enough to keep you around, but not enough to build with you, and they play tug-of-war with your peace. We really live in a generation where being toxic is normalized and loyalty is rare. It’s sad when being single feels like the only way to protect your mind, your heart, and your peace. Relationships used to mean something now it’s lies, ego, and temporary vibes, and what hurts most... Knowing exactly what you bring to the table… but realizing nobody’s even built enough to sit down and eat with you. 🤌🏽👏🏽💯‼️
Most times the strongest form of self-respect is leaving people alone!!! Stop forcing conversations, chasing closure, or trying to convince people to see your point of view. What wants you won’t need to be begged. Protect your peace and keep it moving. 🤍
Friendly reminder: love is not a performance review. You can literally do absolutely nothing, just exist, and still deserve love. Unlearn the habit of working overtime for conditional affection.
