My dad met my mom in the winter of 1984.
According to him, he was just a 23-year-old barber working out of a rented shop in town, and she was a regular customer.
It took me 30 years to realize that every single word of that story was a lie. 🧵👇
The older I get, the more I realize your life is rarely destroyed by one big mistake.
It's usually the small habits you ignore every day.
Here are 10 tiny habits that quietly ruin people's lives:
• Saying "I'll do it tomorrow."
• Keeping people who only call when they need something.
• Spending more time consuming than creating.
• Ignoring your health because you're "too busy."
• Arguing just to win.
• Comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone's highlights.
• Waiting until you "feel motivated."
• Never learning a skill that pays.
• Believing everyone deserves unlimited access to you.
• Thinking time is unlimited.
Which one do you struggle with the most?
Good Morning y'all 🤗
I'm not going to say she's overreacting or not. 🤷
Should the tables be turned, I'm sure your reaction to that might be even more than hers right now.
All I can tell you is to give her the needed space. ❤️
You couldn't answer her question properly regarding who you loved more between your ex and her.
And she was right to think you merely considered her an option.
See, if you're not ready to let go of the past, avoid dragging anyone into your present or promising them the future.
I shall allow others to decide.

Finding out the person you're about to marry is an ex-convict is wild. 😮💨 Especially when you consider how he became one in the first place.
I know this is overwhelming, and it must've been a heavy burden ever since you found out. 💔
So, what can you do? Here's the thing...
You can decide not to put up with his past and walk away.
You can do that for your own feelings, for your own peace.
Should you tell your family?
Honestly, that's a decision only you can make.
It's just like asking him to tell his family that you've had multiple abortions in the past (if that were to be the case).
But if you consider how he's been ever since you met him, you probably wouldn't have suspected something like this had you not found out the truth.
That means... well... To some bad pasts, there might be a good future. 🤷
I'm not asking you to do things out of love.
I'm simply asking you to do what appeases your spirit. ❤️
At the end of the day, life continues.
But the choices we make... stay with us for life.
