the older i get the more i realize that some people aren’t mysterious, complicated, or difficult to understand. they’re just profoundly inconsiderate and completely convinced their behavior requires everyone else to be understanding.
You cannot keep sacrificing your own feelings to maintain relationships with people who never sacrifice their behaviour to maintain a relationship with you.
as someone who likes to talk things out, i’m slowly learning that not every feeling requires a conversation. sometimes you just have to sit with it, let it pass and move on.
people aren’t perfect and neither am i. grace is necessary.
