I have reached a point in my life where I can’t afford to keep people close who avoid self reflection or accountability. Growth requires honesty, and honesty starts within. If you can’t sit with yourself, admit your flaws, accept the part you played in the situations you find yourself in, and own your mistakes, then how could you possibly show up real and grounded for me?
I’m not asking for perfection because none of us have that but I deeply value self awareness. People who dodge responsibility are the same ones who stir chaos and call it peace, who wound others and then hide behind it wasn’t intentional. I choose distance not out of malice but out of self preservation. Because if you can’t keep it real with yourself, there’s no way you’ll ever keep it real with anyone else.
It's hard to admit, but i'm burned out. i feel drained, unmotivated, and tired in ways that sleep can't fix. i'm trying, but everything feels heavier than it should
