“He has childhood trauma.” So do I.
“He’s under a lot of pressure at work.” So am I.
“He’s just overwhelmed.” Me too.
The only difference is that we excuse men’s behavior, and shame women for not carrying it.
cutting people off feels different now. it’s not anger, it’s grief. like dang… I really wanted you here, but your actions showed me I’m not safe with you.
I don’t separate love from how I’m treated. If I constantly feel neglected, dismissed or unsupported, the love dies naturally. Bc in my mind real love naturally produces intentional behavior.
I distance myself from people who create unnecessary chaos just to have a reason not to like me. Insecure people will stir up confusion, gossip, and tension because peace exposes everything they’re not. Some people don’t bond through love, they bond through negativity.✍️
My mental health come before anything. I’m hangin up phones, declining calls, falling back from friendships and relationships. Whatever I gotta do. If it messes with my peace or got my mind feeling off, I’m out. I’m takin care of me first and I hope you on the same type of time.
