you ever catch yourself mid-thought and realize you’ve been making excuses for someone for way too long. not because you didn’t see it, but because you didn’t want to accept what it meant
Never introduce me to an energy that you know you cannot keep up with, if you know you cannot keep up with that energy, don't bring it all, keep it to yourself. Don't start sweet and then go sour as time goes. Keep it real or just be on your own.
incase you weren't raised correctly, i think it's a mans job to set the tone in a relationship; whether people want to admit it or not, a woman feeds off his energy... his consistency, his intentions, his presence. she takes what he gives and reflects it. when a man leads with clarity, love, and respect, it creates a space where a woman can feel safe, soft, and secure. vice versa, when he leads with confusion, mixed signals, and inconsistency, it forces her to operate in survival mode. she becomes guarded, unsure, and emotionally exhausted.
