I been shitted on, lied to, betrayed, disrespected, overlooked, and left to figure that shit out alone. Yet I still show up. Still pray. Still hustle. Still love. Some of y’all don’t even know how much pain a woman can carry and still look fine as hell doing it.
It’s crazy when you finally realize being alone might actually be the safest way to live. You get older and start accepting that maybe that “forever person” just isn’t out there. People too busy being selfish, chasing attention, stuck on exes, or still healing from wounds they never admit they got. Then you meet one that halfway wants you enough to keep you around, but not enough to build with you, and they play tug-of-war with your peace. We really live in a generation where being toxic is normalized and loyalty is rare. It’s sad when being single feels like the only way to protect your mind, your heart, and your peace. Relationships used to mean something now it’s lies, ego, and temporary vibes, and what hurts most... Knowing exactly what you bring to the table… but realizing nobody’s even built enough to sit down and eat with you. 🤌🏽👏🏽💯‼️
Sometimes you just have to tell people LOOK i love you & i'll probably always love you, but I'm no longer interested in the level of life you have to offer me & because of that I have to let you go. I'm not even asking you to change, you can keep doing exactly what you want to do & how you want to do it, you just can't do it with me anymore.
Stop letting people consume you. They didn't call? Go to sleep. They didn't message you? Put your phone down and have a better day. They left you on read? Delete the conversation. They didn't make an effort? Match their energy. Never let your happiness depend on anyone.
