The older you get the more you'll realize that everything really is that deep. The people you confide in, trust, date, become friends with, the opportunities you take. What you watch & listen to. What you eat. & even what you consume mentally, emotionally, & spiritually. It's very deep and shouldn't be taken lightly. This is your only life. enjoy it. But, be more intentional about it each & everyday.
I think friend betrayal hurts worse than betrayal from a partner because friendships are usually built on choice not obligation. A romantic relationship comes with expectations, jealousy, conflict, and the possibility that things might not work out. But a friend is someone who chooses to be in your life without any of that. They see your highs your lows & your insecurities, your wins, and often know parts of you your partner doesn’t. So when a friend betrays you, it can feel like they had a front row seat to your life and still chose to move against you. It’s not just losing a person it’s losing trust, memories, loyalty, and sometimes the version of yourself that felt safe with them. That’s why for me friend betrayal leaves a wound that’s harder to explain and longer to heal.
My ability to make peace with any situation is unmatched. Didn't get that job? It was never mine. You don't want me? Someone will. That opportunity didn't work out? The next one will. I believe that everything happens for YOU not to you. ❤️
Their final gift to you was repeating their pattern one last time so you could finally see that despite all their potential, this is who they choose to be
One thing I've learned this year:
People can genuinely care about you and still not have the capacity to love you the way you need to be loved.
That's why self-respect is important. Sometimes choosing yourself means walking away from something you wish could've worked.
as soon as i took a step back, i started seeing mfs for exactly who they are. distance has a way of clearing your vision. when you’re no longer in the middle of the noise.. the patterns, the intentions & the truth bout ppl become impossible to ignore.
