i refuse to sacrifice my peace and comfort just to keep someone in my life. i refuse to allow consistent disrespect from someone just to keep them in my life.
The older you get, the more you realize you don't wanna be around drama, stress or conflict anymore. You start choosing calm over chaos, and distance over disrespect. You prioritize your peace, mental health and happiness — over everything.
your soulmate is someone who is committed to working through things together and doesn’t see breaking up as an option. they’re willing to have difficult conversations and are dedicated to finding solutions that make you both feel loved, reassured and respected in the relationship
if you need a sign this is it. stop fighting for people who wouldn’t do the same for you. you should never have to work hard for reciprocated love and respect. your mental isn’t worth compromising for people who never deserved it in the first place.
the older you get, the more you realize it's not about who knows the longest. it's about who makes you feel seen, heard, understood, appreciated, supported and loved.
