I think we villainise incompatibility too much. Not everybody is for you and that's totally fine. Incompatibility isn't harm. The harm comes from forcing connections and the ugliness from that process. Learn to see incompatibility as misalignment and let people go early enough
I’m such a "thank you so much" typa girl because i understand that nobody is obligated to do anything for me, so i'll always appreciate the people who choose to show up for me.!
girl to girl: sometimes you’ll find an old picture of yourself and suddenly realize you were actually beautiful during a time when you spent so much energy criticizing yourself.
Emotional intelligence is recognizing that someone’s behavior can genuinely hurt you while also being aware that a wound from your past may be intensifying your reaction to it.
I’ve always considered myself a wise fool. I’m very aware, very observant, very intelligent and somehow still capable of doing the dumbest shit imaginable. Life is my art I guess.
i might be like— super overly sensitive, but i do appreciate when people are super straightforward about what they want, mean and think. even if it hurts sometimes, id rather just cry about it, get over it, take accountability and what not, instead of someone dodging me.
