Sometimes you have to stop explaining yourself to people who have already decided to misunderstand you. Protecting your peace is more important than proving your worth.
During flu season, my ex-girlfriend made me submit to a mandatory forearms-to-fingertips hand sanitizing protocol before I was allowed to touch her face, despite me having zero symptoms. I ended up writing a whole persuasive argument just to get a kiss on the cheek. Golden standard of hygiene, hope she's doing great now.
Is it really too much to ask to fall in love and have a cute little necklace my person gave me, wear it every day, fidget with it constantly, and randomly think, โYeah, thatโs my person.
Is there anywhere yall do not smoke weed ? Like damn I should not have to walk my kid thru a marijuana cloud before school, because you couldnโt get your fix before you had to leave light that shit in the car !
I just want someone to be completely enamored with me in every way, without putting me on a pedestal or turning me into some fantasy. I want to be fully understood and still loved as a whole person. I want security, respect, and the freedom to remain myself. I donโt believe love should require constant sacrifice. I want two complete people choosing to coexist, complementing each other without needing to complete each other. And honestly, I donโt think thatโs asking for too much.
Billionaires donโt work a billion times harder than teachers or farmers. You donโt earn a billion dollars through hard work. That money comes from the ruthless exploitation of underpaid labor, where a small group of billionaires amasses grotesque, unjustifiable fortunes.
