above the noise ⛰️📚

nothing is worse than realizing you shouldn’t have told someone so much.

Ignoring red flags because you wanna see the good in people will cost you later.

Nothing hits a NARCISSIST harder than your silence. No reaction. No access. No explanation. Just healing... and indifference.

The friendships that I thought were going to last but ended in heartbreaking disappointment and silence…

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, hurting them back won’t heal your pain.

Some stranger somewhere still remembers you because you were kind to them when no one else was.

No matter how smart you are, somebody can still teach you something.

it’s honestly concerning how many people can’t recognize manipulation

I learned peace from isolation

burnout is REAL

Do not talk about discernment if you cannot recognise when someone needs compassion more than criticism and correction. There is a time to guide and a time to simply hold space for a person who is hurting. Wisdom knows the difference. And kindness knows it even faster.

What are you reading right now??? #booktwt

This book had me crying over the death of a side character. It also had me wanting to jump into the book to fight the king. Definitely 5 stars 🔥🗡️ #fireheart

There's a very specific loneliness after finishing a book no one around you has read.

You have to stop giving CPR to dead situations.

Arguing with somebody who twist everything you say will wear you out quick. you say one thing, they hear something else. You express how you feel, now it’s an attack. Somehow every conversation ends with you defending yourself instead of fixing the issue. That’s when you realize, it was never about understanding you, it was about controlling the narrative.

Normalize having a dozen of unread books and still buying more.

A good book series

They lost someone who cared; you lost someone who used you. You won.
