Sometimes your partner isn’t asking you to change your identity, they’re asking you to change the behaviors that keep hurting the relationship. You don’t have to become a different person. You just have to be willing to become a better partner. Because love isn’t only about accepting someone as they are; it’s also about caring enough to grow when the way you love is causing pain.
Sometimes you gotta back away from something you really care about just to see what happens when you stop doing all the work. Stop reaching first, stop making every plan, and stop being the reason the connection stays alive. That distance will show you whether it was mutual or if you were carrying it the whole time. If everything stops when you stop trying, you already got your answer.
Being cheated on hurts, but do you know what hurts even more? Remembering the exact days it happened and realising they were still talking to you, laughing with you, looking you in the eyes and acting completely normal. It’s not just the betrayal that breaks you it’s realising how easily someone could hide it while you were trusting them completely. The hardest part isn’t what they did, but how normal they made everything feel while doing it.
Imagine fumbling someone who genuinely wanted nothing but the best for you, asking for nothing in return except your time, honesty, and a little reassurance. Wild how people sometimes lose something so genuine while searching for something “better.” 😭
I don’t let people get close to me like that no more. I done watched people I trusted the most switch up like the history meant nothing. That taught me being around somebody for years don’t make them real & just because I got love for them don’t mean they got love for me.
i miss you, okay? not because I'm hoping you'll come back, because deep down I know you can't. I just miss having you in my life.
I miss the little conversations we used to have, the way you made ordinary days feel a little better, and the comfort of knowing you were there.
Sometimes something happens, and you're still the first person i want to tell, but then I remember that I can't anymore. It's strange how someone can be gone and still cross your mind every day.
I know life goes on, and I'm trying my best to move forward, but that doesn't mean I don't miss you.
Maybe some people are meant to stay in our memories instead of our future.
And even if you can never come back, a part of me will always be thankfu that you were once a part of my life.
