My dad always says:
Donโt suffer because you love someone.
Men are romantic. If heโs not, heโs not that interested in you.
Do your own thing โฆa man should add value to your life, not demolish it.
I could write a whole thread about the wisdom he has shared with me๐ญ๐ฅบ
You disrespect yourself every time you let something slide that doesnโt sit right with you so Iโve buckled down on my boundaries as a form of self love. My time is valuable, my feelings are valid. those who love me will respect it. I desire nothing more and will take nothing less
One thing I'll never do for as long as I live is allowing myself to feel shame for having a human experience. Yes, I get jealous, I experience lust, I get angry, I have sex, I drink alcohol occasionally, I lie. I have no interest in being a saint, I'm a human.
