dating to marry will make you realize that the "plenty of fish in the sea" narrative is false. alot of people are really not worth that level of intimacy
EVERY MAN you meet is gonna teach you something. Either he’s gonna show you how a woman deserves to be loved, respected, and protected… or he’s gonna teach you exactly what never to tolerate again. Either way, you leave with a lesson.
The intimacy of being by yourself is a intimacy much can't grasp. How your energy isn't affected by anyone else's. The silence. Being exactly who you are. The you when no one is looking. I realize how much I actually love myself and how I'm one of my own best friends.
You cannot reconcile with people who refuse to be honest about how they mishandled you. Reconciliation requires accountability. Otherwise, you’re just being asked to make peace with the same behavior that hurt you.
so many men hit the gym after a breakup thinking their body is the issue. brother, you have the emotional intelligence and maturity of a door knob. GO TO THERAPY.
