I kept calling it loyalty when it was really self-abandonment. I gave endless chances, ignored my own needs, and stayed where I wasn't valued. The hardest lesson wasn't losing them. it was realizing how much of myself I had already lost.
one of the main reasons i’m so gentle with myself is cause i believe i’ve already experienced enough hardship in my life. i’ve already been mishandled and undervalued by others and myself at times. so i deserve more patience, forgiveness, and consideration at this point.
Many young people are battling silent sadness, not because of relationships , but because life hasn’t gone the way they hoped. They’re trying their best and just want a reason to smile again. May God heal every hurting heart.
“Some battles never make it to social media. It takes so much strength to pull yourself out of a dark place.
Nobody sees the nights you fought your thoughts. Nobody sees the days you forced yourself to keep going.
Give yourself credit for surviving what nobody knew you were going through.” ❤️
Y’all don’t know how many people actually go through stuff & never speak on it .. just imagine how heavy a person heart be but will do any & everything to make sure everybody around them straight. Show people some grace!
The most sophisticated thing you can do when someone doesn’t know what they want with you is to remain someone who knows exactly what they want with themselves.
I’m usually the person that tries to fix bonds and friendships, but lately I’ve been letting people stand on how they feel. We never have to talk again. That’s perfectly fine by me.
Quit discounting yourself. Quit thinking you can’t pray for something big, you don’t have the faith, you don’t come from the right family. The requirement is: Are you a human? Since you are, God says you can ask for things that seem impossible.
One of the hardest goodbyes is when you still love someone, but the relationship is no longer healthy. Your heart pleads to stay, but your soul knows you must leave to protect your light.
Staying means waiting—for change, effort, and reciprocity. In that wait, you shrink. You accept hurtful words and crumbs of affection, sacrificing your peace for someone who gives just enough to keep you, but never enough to truly value you.
Leaving is heartbreaking. You will doubt your choice, but the pain of staying and losing yourself is far greater.
You do not leave because you stopped loving them. You leave because you started loving yourself more.
This is not an act of anger, but of profound self-respect.
You choose peace. You choose yourself.
And that becomes the bravest love story you will ever write.
