realizing that all of my exes made it seem like i was too fucking difficult when i’m really not that fucking hard to read and listen to if you just CARED and PAID ATTENTION to me.
I highly recommend you find yourself a clingy (healthy) lovey dovey partner who's super excited about you. life is too short to spend it with someone who act like showing love is a chore
just saw an insta reel that said “be patient with me, last time i trusted someone i had to reteach myself how to eat and smile again.”
i’m feeling that real hard right now. haven’t been able to eat in weeks.
Healing in private is hard, but not everyone needs front row seats to your pain. Learn to process, pray, reflect, journal, heal… without venting to everybody. Protect your peace and your vulnerability.
i think what really changed me was noticing how often i abandoned my own boundaries just to avoid losing people who were already slowly losing me anyway
one of the most damaging things about loving the wrong person for too long is how slowly you start believing your emotional needs are ‘too much’ just because they were never handled with care
you ever become so emotionally drained that even replying to people who genuinely care about you starts feeling difficult because your mind is just exhausted from carrying too much for too long
