Reality is some people just don’t align & this was my last year letting my empathy for people keep me attached to what my discernment already rejected.
can we PLEASE normalize leaving people to avoid empathy burnout. yes, i love you BUT i am tired of having to ask you to consider me, and i am tired of you not seeing where you went wrong.
When I leave people alone, I genuinely think I’m giving them what they want. It’s no way you did what you did & expected me to believe you still wanted me around.
One thing I’ve noticed about women with depth is that they rarely speak in absolutes. Life has humbled them too many times for that. They know good people can make terrible decisions. They know love doesn’t always save a relationship. They know timing can ruin something beautiful. They know being right and being happy are often two different choices. Experience has a way of replacing certainty with understanding.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Unfortunately, i don't like nonchalant men. Be dominant. Check on me. Be affectionate. Tell me im gorgeous. Plan dates. Buy me flowers. Be absolutely obsessed with me
