If every little misunderstanding means we gotta spend the next 2 weeks or longer acting weird, I’m good. I don’t have the patience for emotional punishment over shit that could’ve been talked about and handled.
someone said "if you don't let people experience the consequences of their actions towards u, you will remain a safe place for their worst behavior" and I couldn't agree more
girls.... pleaseeeee pick the gentle one. the kind one. the one who brings you peace. the protective one. the one who is sure of you. the one who respects you. the one who understands your silence.
I realized I really can't be at peace w anyone that invalidates my feelings. I don't want anyone to kiss my ass to satisfy my ego but if we can't mutually respect each other's feelings even when we don't understand them & apologize for offending the other, we won't thrive.
My version of being spoiled ain’t about the money… it’s about how you treat me. How gentle you are, how you talk to me, how you cater to me, how you love me, protect me, and pour into me. Anybody can spend money. Not everybody knows how to make you feel loved. That’s the real luxury.
Every time I spoke up about something that bothered me, I somehow ended up being the problem. Instead of hearing me out, everything turned into my reaction, my tone, or the fact that I even brought it up. That’s when I realized some people don’t want honesty, they want silence. They don’t mind doing things that affect you, they just don’t want to hear about it afterward. Once I saw that pattern, I stopped explaining myself and started keeping my distance.
crazy how peaceful life becomes when you decide you no longer have the energy to teach people how to appreciate you, respect you, respect your boundaries, treat you right, listen, communicate, resolve conflicts, honor agreements, be accountable, and have difficult conversations.
I need the girls to get DISGUSTED by a man never buying flowers, planning dates, building a bond, investing in & pouring love + effort into a good hearted woman that deserves it. GET DISGUSTED.
