Not even an apology can undo how certain people made me feel. Some damage ain't about words, it's about patterns, disrespect, and seeing people for who they really are.
Jealousy and envy is real. People will sit up and swear they ain't bothered but secretly be obsessed with you! Plotting and watching your every move. Especially when you're out the way, pretty, happy, make your money & mind your own business. They hate that with a passion.
I use to think it was petty to withhold your kids from people but people do not deserve your kids! Especially when they aren’t mature enough to not speak ill about you or towards you around your kids.
normalize calling out family members for their bs. too many adults act ridiculous because no one ever checked them “in the name of family.” but keeping peace by enabling bad behavior isn’t love. it’s dysfunction. call it out. set the boundary. say the hard thing. “family” is not a free pass to be disrespectful, manipulative, or cruel. if you wouldn’t tolerate it from a friend, don’t tolerate it from family.
One thing I cannot tolerate at this big grown age is someone who acts like cause and effect doesn’t exist. Yes, your actions caused this outcome, so why are you standing there shocked and playing the victim.
3 trees have fallen in my back yard since last year. Today a big granddaddy tree fell and knocked everyone on my side of the street power out for hours. Praying this be the last year I’m in this house, it’s been issue after issue since 2022. 😩
I’m in the holiday spirit now that I’ve unlocked my creative juices. I want to decorate my entire yard and porch for the holidays with DIYs but it’s going to be tough since I don’t have any wall plugs outside 🥴
