Watching Shameless on Netflix made me realize that, all around the world, firstborns often become the next head of the household after their parent. They carry a lot of responsibility and, most times, make countless sacrifices for their siblings—both knowingly and unknowingly.
I’ve outgrown surface-level affection. If you say you like me, I need to see it through consistent effort, communication, emotional connection, and respect — not just words or physical attraction
A person you share a deep emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual bond with (your “person”), but circumstances prevent a serious relationship. You truly love them and can be happy for them, even if they’re with someone else.
My self-control is generally strong, but I find it hard to ignore text messages. I can delay replying for a while, yet I almost always end up responding—unless I’m away from my phone for an extended time.
It’s wild how we change without even realizing it.

Or how I now take herbs willingly, without anyone forcing me.
2–3 years ago? I’d never.
