There is a very specific female fatigue that comes from knowing exactly what is happening, explaining exactly what is happening, being told you are overreacting, and then watching exactly what is happening happen with excellent punctuality.
Everybody talks about cutting people off but nobody really talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision knowing it’s not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well-being
I’m at a point in my life where as long as I know I did right by you, I’m okay with walking away when something no longer works. I used to hold on longer than I should’ve because I cared, because of history, or because I wanted things to work out. But I’ve learned you can’t keep carrying relationships by yourself. If I showed up, kept it real, and did my part, that’s enough for me. Whether it’s family, friends, whoever, I don’t force what’s no longer mutual. I just leave it where it’s at and keep moving.
if you're scared to do something but think about it often, it's probably the exact thing you need to do to unlock the next chapter in your life. embrace the fear, welcome the change, and go after what you want with full force
a hard pill to swallow (but a good one) is sometimes we didn't hold as much weight in someone's life as we thought & it's completely okay. someone's inability to appreciate you doesn't decrease your value in any way, shape, or form.
Keep showing up, pleasseeeee 🙏🏾 for yourself, for your goals, and for the version of you that you see in the mirror that you want to become.
Pleaseeeee keep showing up because I promise you, it gets good. ✨
I don't know who needs to hear this but someone recently told me "no amount of waiting will make you more brave, and no amount of worrying will make it more safe." And honestly I think about this everyday.
