one of the main reasons i’m so gentle with myself is cause i believe i’ve already experienced enough hardship in my life. i’ve already been mishandled and undervalued by others and myself at times. so i deserve more patience, forgiveness, and consideration at this point.
Right now life teaching me detachment. Nothing’s really mine. People come and go. Moments pass. Love shifts. It’s all temporary. I’m learning to enjoy things without gripping them too tight. To accept when energy changes. To let go when it’s time.
Until you address me directly, you do not have an issue with me. You have an issue with yourself. I don’t respond to whispers, assumptions, side comments, or conversations held in rooms I’m not standing in. If it was serious enough to speak around me, it should be mature enough to bring to me. Until then, that is not conflict; that is avoidance wearing confidence.
