Before I give up on somebody, I try over and over again, until I can’t try anymore.

When certain people wrong you, they’ll start a list in their mind with anything they can come up with that you did wrong too. Reaching for ways that you’re not perfect. These aren’t the kinds of relationships you need. Healthy people take accountability. Not deflect & project.

We hurt our own feelings by thinking we mean more to people than we actually do.

I’ve learned to stop trying to understand people who are hurting me. even though I want to find meaning behind the pain they are projecting, if I tell them they are hurting me, and they keep doing it…the only thing for me to understand is that I am not safe here.

I remember trying to describe to someone what my grief felt like/what it did to me. you can’t even describe it. even when you try, those who can’t empathize will simplify your experience down to mere sadness. grief is so beyond being sad. they are not the same.

You have to force yourself to get up early. You have to hold yourself accountable and evaluate your priorities. If you aren't going to help yourself, nobody will. Everything starts with you. Yes, you. Fight for your dreams, and your dreams will fight for you.

If you address something that makes you feel a way & the person get defensive. Stop talking to them immediately. They already invalidated your feelings. Ain’t much more to say after that. They already missed the understanding part.

Making someone feel seen, heard and understood is the loudest way to love them.

Honestly nobody’s easy to date. Everyone has their insecurities, flaws, & certain ways of doing things that make us who we are. Perfect pple & relationships only exist on tv. The most important thing is finding someone who loves u on ur worst days & will fight thru the hard times

Unhealed trauma can cause you to excuse, ignore or downplay mistreatment because you've survived worse. Healing helps you recognise your worth & raise your standards on how you should be treated. You're worthy of being respected & treated right in all interactions/relationships.

You deserve a calm love with someone who’s good for your mental health and nervous system. Someone who's your safe space, your best friend, and brings peace to your soul during stressful times.

when you’re an understanding person, people take advantage of it. they know your first reaction isn’t to pick apart what they say/do or look too into it because up until this point you’ve consistently shown them grace & patience.

that toxic shit is so ugly , i just want something peaceful

Those uncomfortable convos be creating the healthiest relationships

I always look at my friends like SISTERS. Ion look at nobody around me as competition. We all BAD, we all got MOTION & we all REAL ONES & that’s why I my circle the way it is🩷

Maturing is healing and unlearning your own toxic patterns, so you don't become like the people who traumatized you.

Idk why I be stressing knowing God never failed me

When he sends pics/vids of how fine he looks.

I’m this clingy 😩
