as a lovergirl a lot of people will fall in love with the idea of having you, but lack the ability to hold you reciprocally. and that’s where they lose you.
finally accepting how sensitive i am after years of trying to deny it out of fear that i would not be met with tenderness. turns out it’s not about what anyone is willing to give me, but what i am willing to honor in myself without shame or equivocation.
at the end of the day, actions speak louder than words. when people try to speak about their character after you’ve already seen who they are, that’s them trying to manipulate your perception without showing their work. don’t believe them.
At some point you really have to tell yourself “this is not an experience I want to keep having” and stop entertaining things that don’t benefit you in any way.
