Someone pushing you to do better isn’t an attack. It’s an act of love. Having someone who believes in you and pushes you to be the best version of yourself is ensuring you have a better chance at succeeding in life and in relationships.
Stop checking your phone again & again.
Of course they are online but not for you. they are free but not for you.
While you are waiting for them they are waiting for someone else.
Just accept it rather than having false hope & expectations..
9 Harsh Truths I wish I understood in my 20's:
1. Everyone is responsible for their choices and behavior. At the end of the day, it's always on us.
2. Quick fixes are popular because healing take time, new habits, and consistent commitment.
3. There might not be the one. Focusing on finding the perfect person takes away the time you could be learning how to self regulate and communicate.
4. We all self sabotage. We all have narcissistic traits. We all have self doubt. Welcome to being human.
5. People's opinions are mostly projections. You can learn from all feedback, but also know it's extremely bias. Nothing is personal.
6. Not everything needs to be fixed. The wisest people know how to sit with the pain and suffering people experience without saying or doing much of anything.
7. People pleasing is an attempt to control people's perception of us. Once you face that, you can finally start to let it go.
8. No one has a perfect life. Stop romanticizing the life of other people. We all carry things we don't talk about.
9. Your body doesn't just age because of genetics. It ages because of how it's cared for. Care for your body, it's your vessel for navigating life.
Which do you think is most important to learn in this life?
Retweet if you felt this to be true.
This year has taught me 5 very important lessons:
1. Leave people where they at after they show you who they are the first time. No second chances for them to cross you again!
2. Be careful who you trust salt and sugar looks the same.

In this moment, I wish my ex boyfriend's claims of being overly paranoyed and unhinged were true. I have something that may be a staff infection, and my arizona coverage doesn't cover out of state care.
@Boujee_Bottle I'm sorry. It's just I discovered some very disturbing revolations a few nights ago. And it has to do with my very own blood. My family. CaI finally just had a moment to actually process it all last night, and I'm speachless.
when people tell you they can handle you at your worst and then get mad when you're drunk and get vulnerable and irrational because you feel that you're unwanted and they get mad at you and accuse you of questioning their integrity.
Want to have a better relationship, with anyone?
Learn to listen.
If you feel defensive or want to interrupt, just breathe. Work on regulating your emotions. This is how you build trust.
When someone goes to you and they're met with openness and curiosity, the relationship grows stronger.
When someone goes to you and they're invalidated or dismissed, the relationships grows apart.
Every response you have to another person either builds connection, or breaks it.
Choose wisely.
Those who live with complex trauma & the diagnoses that come with it, don’t see the world like others. They see through a lens of survival, coping & hope. They’re looking for relief & validation, because the world that looks back at them, rarely acknowledges what they’ve overcome
Stop overthinking why people did you wrong, they did it and they meant it. Move on. It's unfair to yourself to keep trying to justify why you're holding on to toxicity. There are lessons in letting go. You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Just b/c you gave your children ALL their physical needs DOESN’T mean you get a pass.
Emotional neglect is oft missed b/c it’s buried under the guise of “I gave you everything.”
Kids need EMOTIONAL safety.
Dismissing needs, + instilling fear when they’re asked for IS abuse. @drjenwolkin
40 is young.
Life is longer than you think.
The idea that “it’s all downhill” after our 20s is one of the greatest (and most believed) lies of our culture.
Reject age dysfunction.
LIVE, til you die.
I have found that to help re-wire attachment wounds, pushing past discomfort and doing the exact opposite of what we feel triggered to do is key. i.e. lean in and communicate when we feel like distancing from someone. or when we find ourselves needing constant contact, taking space to reconnect to ourselves
The narcissist calls you crazy, insecure, jealous and sensitive, to keep you from the reality of. I lied to you. I cheated on you, I disrespected you, I abandoned you, I twisted every argument, I made you doubt yourself, I isolated you, I stole from you.
My guard is up. I’m not cold, I’m tired. I’m not mean, I can’t handle another disappointment. I’m not pushing anybody away, I just need to know if you’re here to stay. I adore love in all forms but I can’t handle anything less than real. My love goes above & beyond.
If they wanna talk to you, they would.
If they wanna be with you, they would.
If they wanna make things work, they would.
Don’t ever let things be one sided, it’s not healthy or fair for you.
