Anything I do for someone comes from a place of love. you’ll never have to question my intentions or wonder if there’s a hidden agenda behind my kindness. If I care about you, it’s real and not transactional. I show up because i choose to, not because i need anything from you.
If they wanna talk, they will. if they wanna be with you, they will. if they wanna make things work, they will. don’t ever let things be one sided. it’s not healthy and it’s not fair to you.
it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
the thing about caring deeply is that you end up carrying other people's pain too. it's beautiful in some ways. but it's also exhausting, and not many people think to ask how you're doing
i hate the whole “they only care about your reaction not their actions that caused it” cuz it dismisses the fact that reactions can be disproportionate to the action. you do not get to do or say whatever because someone upset you lol you’re an adult.
