I stay to myself now. I’m alone 95% of the time. True loner. I’ve experienced betrayal from the people who I thought would NEVER do me like that! BUT NOW, it’s a different story! You wouldn’t know if I’m staying or leaving! Up or down! There’s only a couple people I truly trust. I be in my own bubble, in my own world, minding my OWN business! People ARE NOT genuine these days and always got some kinda hidden agenda. So now I prefer to enjoy my happiness in peace, fight my battles alone, and giving everything to God.
It’s always the ones you’d do anything for who treat you like you’re nobody. They abuse your soft spot until it’s no longer there, mistaking your deep love for weakness.
Respecting your partner is deeper than just staying faithful. Respecting your partner means to also respect their voice and allow them to be heard. Respect is communication. Respect is avoiding the same mistakes or things you know will make your partner mad/sad. Respecting your partner is thinking before you speak. Respecting your partner is being their number one fan. Respect is sometimes 'just' an attempt to understand. Respect is empathy. Respect is effort. Respect is love.
there's something exhausting about always being the reliable one. people start expecting your strength and eventually stop noticing the weight you're carrying.
Until you date a generous partner, you'll never understand how deeply someone can love you. It’s not about being rich; it’s about being willing. Generosity isn’t about money it’s about intention. When someone gives freely time, effort, protection, reassurance you feel chosen, not tolerated.
That kind of love hits different.
Date ppl who are gentle with you bc love is ethical before it is emotional. That part gets skipped a lot. Attraction & chemistry can be loud but even trauma has chemistry too.
for anyone trying to grow with a partner:
being asked to change is not the same as being asked to stop being yourself. it’s about recognizing behaviors that repeatedly create tension. evolving those behaviors is part of building a healthier connection.
Soulmates are not found - they’re created through trust, consistency, and shared effort. Love this deep is not passive. It’s the result of work and choosing each other through every season of life together.
