I’ma teach my kids the importance of apologizing. I feel like growing up my parents did not apologize to me enough. They just started being nice to me out of the blue.
Never teach a man how to be your man. Don't ask him for anything. Not a date. Not flowers. Not clingy texts. Not morning calls. Not time. Not affection. When a man truly wants you,he moves different on his own. Life's too short to be waiting for someone to act right!
If we date, don’t stop being you. Keep having fun, keep seeing your friends, keep chasing your goals, and keep enjoying your life. A relationship should add to your life, not take away from it. Just make sure you save time for us too.
Seriously, just apologize when you know you messed up. You can’t be mad at someone for being mad at you when they have a legit reason to be upset. That’s weird behavior. People love to call themselves grown until it’s time to actually hold themselves accountable.
Some days I’m genuinely at peace and grateful, other days it still feels heavy. I’m choosing joy more intentionally though and it’s slowly making a difference.
Call it a millennial crisis if you want.
But in my 30's, I realized l don't actually want the life I worked so hard for. I don't care about titles. I don't care about climbing anyone else's ladder. I care about time. I care about slow mornings. I care about peace. I care about bare feet at the beach with nowhere to be. I still want to make money.. just not at the cost of my life.
