tolerating always turns into resentment. at first, you call it patience, then love. but what it really is, is self abandonment. every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. eventually, the bill comes due.
One day gents you must understand that women are reciprocators, not initiators. They step AFTER y’all step. You lead, they FOLLOW. Idk how else to explain this but it’s really SO simple.

“Communication is key” but no one talks about how scary real communication is. It is not cute texts and long calls. It’s “here’s where you hurt me, here’s what I need, here’s what I’m afraid to say”. It’s swallowing pride, risking rejection, choosing honesty over comfort.
I was born for romantic love, Sunday funday, quality time, lying on the chest of the person I love, spending time with my loved ones, little gestures, feeling deeply, all of it.
