Fall semester is here. Wishing every student focus, balance, and success. May this semester be filled with growth, opportunities, and accomplishments for us all.
my therapist said this to me, and it hit me like a brick “if it drains you, it’s not for you. love, friendships, jobs, anything meant for you will nourish you, not exhaust you. 1/2
breakups are ok. losing friends is ok. moving on is ok. healing is ok. saying no is ok. being alone is ok. what is NOT ok is staying somewhere where you don't feel happy, valued, loved or appreciated.
respecting your partner is deeper than just staying faithful. respecting your partner means to also respect their voice and allow them to be heard. respect is communication. respect is avoiding the same mistakes or things you know will make your partner mad/sad
Stop being so considerate in situations where you are not considered. Kindness is a gift, not an obligation. You'll be drained if you keep pouring into people who don't reciprocate. Protect your spirit and well-being. Redirect your warmth toward those who reflect it back to you.
pretending to be clueless to people’s shady behavior has honestly saved me so much drama in life. no reaction, no acknowledgement, just keep it pushing lol
