I actually respect people who can say “I used to think this but I don’t anymore.” that takes more self awareness than pretending you’ve always been right.
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
I owe myself a great life. I want financial freedom, an amazing body, a career I’m proud of, and academic excellence. I want to look back and know that I gave myself every opportunity to become everything I dreamed of becoming.
Stay out of the loop on purpose, let people hesitate to contact you, be in the world but not of it, focus on what actually matters and genuinely ignore the rest. If it's important it will find you, if not let it go elsewhere.
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.
I work on myself because I understand that I am responsible for where I end up. Not for everything that happened to me, but for every response, every habit, and every decision I made after it. That distinction is everything. Blame is easy. Ownership is what actually changes your life.
let people reintroduce themselves to you, even your closest friends. let them reintroduce their hobbies, dreams, and soul. familiarity shouldn't be a cage. love them for who they are now, not just who they were then.
