sometimes, i don't want an apology. i want you to experience the exact situation you put me through; so i can see if you still think that the sh!t was okay.
I need to unlearn the habit of swallowing disrespect just to keep a bond alive. I empathize with people so much that I end up excusing things that hurt me. I keep choosing the bond over myself, hoping they’d offer me the same grace when I inevitably fall short. But they don’t.
Having discernment is so weırd because how do I explain to someone who did nothing to me that their spirıt is NOT compatible with mine. I can feel it. My body tenses up, I become reserved. Then there’s other people I meet and instantly feel warmth and familiarity.
Just because somebody make good money don’t mean they got money to hand out. 😂 Y’all see income… not bills, investments, savings, responsibilities, or the sacrifices behind it. Stop counting other people’s pockets and focus on building your own. 💯
