One thing I made peace with in 2026 is that I don't have to. I don't have to go above and beyond for others. I don't always have to be the bigger person. I don't have to fix what I didn't break. I don't have to show up for those who don't show up for me. And I definitely don't have to sacrifice my own happiness to please everyone else.
when I was a kid i used to think this was the best r&b song ever made. then i grew up and matured and realised that this is absolutely the best r&b song ever made.
Unfortunately, yes i sure DO give up on people.. you can't continuously disappoint me, distract me, not pour into me & expect me to continue showing up for you. No can do.
