I have no desire to prove to a man i’m the better option...go be confused somewhere else

One falls in love, and then learns, for the duration, that one is at the mercy of someone else’s childhood.

I asked a 6 year old kid who his favourite person in the world is and he told me Jesus 🥹 my heart was instantly filled ❤️

Let’s normalize this. Stop looking for the ‘perfect’ partner they don’t exist. Instead, look for someone committed to growing with you. Someone committed to actually loving you even on the hard days, understanding your heart, and addressing issues instead of avoiding them.

An unhealed man is incapable of understanding that a woman's emotional distress is a reaction to her feeling unsafe. He sees her pain as a nuisance. A healed man understands the importance of his grounded presence, takes responsibility and creates a space for her to feel safe.

Men don’t abandon the woman they love. They abandon the woman they were using or didn’t respect. That’s all the closure you need ladies, move on

[Sophia ❣️ @KeruboSk]

My therapist told me:

“When a person grows up feeling unseen, they learn to love by over-giving. They pour into everyone else, hoping that, one day, someone will finally pour back into them. So they become the care taker. The fixer. The one who shows up, even when no one shows up for them.”
And the hardest part? Deep down, they're not trying to be strong. They're just waiting for someone to do for them what they've spent their whole life doing for everyone else.

People with less friends are usually the most aware.

You are not for everyone, and that's a good thing.

Here's Why:

@Cobratate Leadership without respect is just ego in costume.

[Echo 🔆 @TheEcho13]

The softest parts of a woman only come out when it’s safe to.

So many men say they want a soft woman, a feminine woman, a gentle woman. But softness isn’t a trait, it’s a response.

You don’t get it by demanding it. You get it by earning it.

You create it when you give her a world she doesn’t have to harden herself against.

When her nervous system can exhale.
When she’s not on alert.
When she doesn’t have to carry it all, watch her tone, justify her feelings, or walk on eggshells so she doesn’t set you off.

Masculine presence, the kind that is steady, protective, and emotionally available, is what makes a woman unfold. Not control. Not punishment. Not withdrawal.

She has to feel safe enough to be soft.

fuck a breakup have you ever realised one of your friends was kind of a terrible person?

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

this girl on Tiktok said “sometimes you need to stop seeing the good in people and start seeing what they show you.” and that’s some real shit.

The most attractive trait in a man? Making a woman feel emotionally safe enough to be all of herself.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

The more you understand people project parts of themselves they can’t accept onto other people— the less personally you take anything.

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

i stay away from people who avoid self reflection and accountability. if you can’t keep it real with yourself, ain’t no way you can keep it real with me.

[alfie @alfienxo]

i highly recommend a clingy, lovey-dovey partner. life's too short to be with someone who acts like showing love is a chore
