I don't want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster.
Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder.
And if that means she becomes everything I wasn't... good.
I know my worth in every aspect of life. I’ve settled a lot giving people, situations, and opportunities more chances than they deserved. But at some point you have to stop just knowing your worth and start living it.
incase you weren't raised correctly, i think it’s a mans job to set the tone in a relationship; whether people want to admit it or not, a woman feeds off his energy.. his consistency, his intentions, his presence. she takes what he gives and reflects it. when a man leads with clarity, love, and respect, it creates a space where a woman can feel safe, soft, and secure. vice versa, when he leads with confusion, mixed signals, and inconsistency, it forces her to operate in survival mode. she becomes guarded, unsure, and emotionally exhausted.
