I've been so uncomfortable this past year because I've been seeing myself for the first time, setting boundaries for myself, and saying no. It's a foreign feeling but a better me coming.
I used to believe in talking things out, thinking communication could fix everything. Now it just feels exhausting. Let people be who they are and keep it moving
I’ve realized a lot of men really don’t like women being women anymore. Women can’t complain, can’t be a lil dramatic sometimes, can’t be sensitive, etc…. It’s almost like they want to be in a relationship with a man.
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern, or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. And eventually, the bill comes due.
I highly recommend you find yourself a clingy (healthy) lovey dovey partner who’s super excited about you. Life is too short to spend it with someone who act like showing love is a chore.
