i honestly think the most beautiful kind of love is when someone is sure about you, no mixed signals, no confusion, just consistency, effort, and a feeling that they truly want you in their life.
After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
Stop being so considerate in situations where you are not even considered. Kindness is a gift, not an obligation. You will be drained if you keep pouring into people who don't reciprocate. Your kindness is a strength, but when it comes at the expense of your own well-being, boundaries, or self-respect, it becomes self-abandonment.
Protect your spirit and well-being.
Redirect your warmth toward those who reflect it back to you.
I went through fucking HELL this year. So when you see me somewhere happy, smiling, & popping my shit, just know I genuinely deserve that shit. I cried so many nights & my mental health was tested like no other this year. I feel like I’m getting back to myself… FINALLY.
