if you know someone doesn’t have the emotional intelligence you’re looking for, if you know someone doesn’t have the depth you require to further a connection, if you know someone doesn’t have the self-awareness to handle things maturely. do yourself a kind favour and step away.
it's okay to admit that you're not emotionally capable of carrying that burden.
there's no shame in being transparent for things you can't handle. honesty is one of the best things we can give to people, even if sometimes it'll hurt them. it's better than sugarcoating it w/lies.
it's wild how one person can give you peace of mind, but can also break you into pieces. how that person can bring healing into your life, but at the same time, be the cause of your greatest traumas.
because only the ones we love most has the tendency to hurt us greatly.
