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.
my dad once told me “a boy will admit you deserve better and walk away. a man tho, a MAN will do everything in his power to become the better you deserve” and as a lady know this and know peace.
Uncommon advice: If you don't know what to pursue in life right now. Pursue yourself. Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself.
I like to befriend women who used to argue with they daddy growing up or fought back against him. Just like me! You fear nothing in this life once you’ve done that.
