One thing about men: they never forget disrespect. Disrespect to a man is never forgotten. It’s either buried deep in his heart or used as fuel for revenge but it’s never forgotten.

I can't be involved with someone who is emotionally avoidant to the point where their reactions have me feeling like I have to apologise for caring about them them as much as I do. where I feel guilty for wanting to connect with them as deeply as I do. I'm not built for that

i’m not depressed, nor am i sad; but life has definitely taken something from me that no longer allows me to smile the way i used to.

This generation uses ‘I don’t owe anyone anything’ to dodge accountability. But you do. You owe apologies to people you hurt. Gratitude to those who showed up. Respect to those you disrespected. That’s not weakness. That’s maturity.

I grew up walking on eggshells, recognising footsteps, tones. How to tell if someone was in a bad mood and avoid them. I learned to actually study people at a very young age. I’m quiet and observant for a reason. I’ll read you like a book before we even speak

Don't ignore me. You can tell me you don't want to talk. You can tell me you need space. Whatever the case may be. Radio silence is a hard limit for me. It touches a very vulnerable place in me.

Saw a video today that said "as a final act of love I'll never reach out again, but I'll become everything I told you I'm going to be." And whoa.

Niggas like me ain’t appreciated until we gone 🤷🏽‍♂️

If you actually want to maintain healthy relationships in your life, you have to learn how to reconcile the right way. When you mistreat or mishandle someone that you love and care about, apologize to them and address the issue. Waiting for time to pass hoping it will get better is really not an apology.

uncomfortable conversations actually get things solved.

Some things end without words, but not without impact.

my therapist once said “people don’t abandon the people they love, they abandon the people they’re using” and that was all the closure i needed

Opening up to a woman is like talking to the police, all you say can and will be used against you😭😭😭

Just so you know, no matter the reassurance you give some people, they will still go ahead and believe what they have in their head and project them on you.

it’s incredibly easy to figure out when a woman is talking to someone else, it’s just a matter of if you really wanna know.

I think people forget that being in a relationship is actually a RESPONSIBILITY that you owe to the other person. It's not a "I'll do things my way and that's final", it is about CONSIDERATION.

BEING CALLED SENSITIVE FOR REACTING TO DISRESPECT IS MANIPULATION AT ITS FINEST.

Ppl do weird shit then go to weirdos to get it validated..

You can do everything right and still be seen as wrong

Apologize when you know you messed up. All that manipulative behavior and getting mad at someone for being upset with you when they have a valid reason is weird. People love to say they’re grown until it’s time to hold themselves accountable.
