heartbreak steals your innocence. i remember being so deeply in love and so naive—there’s a bittersweetness when i think back, knowing i will never be that soft or vulnerable again.
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. don’t let anyone drain you of your happiness
the more i learn about avoidant attached people the more i feel bad for them. imagine having so much to say to someone you love, yet no way to say it because vulnerability and intimacy don’t feel safe.
May you marry a good man, a soft spoken man, a hard working man, a wise man, a man who will help you get closer to Allah, a man who doesn't leave when it gets tough, who doesn't run when it's time to communicate, and who doesn't ignore what makes you feel sad or disrespected.
