Some relationships don't need to end.
They need to start over. Not because the love wasn't real. But because the version of you that started it, isn't the version you are now. A season of disconnection doesn't always mean it's over forever.
Sometimes it means both people needed space to grow without pulling each other apart in the process. We treat distance like a death sentence.
Sometimes starting over is the only way to move forward. Not back to who you were. Not back to old patterns. But forward, with clearer boundaries, better language, deeper understanding. Some love has to be reintroduced. Relearned.
Rechosen.
I'm grown enough to admit that due to the things I was put through in life, I'm a hard person to deal with sometimes. I overthink, worry, and can be hard to understand. I'm beyond territorial, and require a lot of patience. But I also know that I can love like no other. I can give you the world as mine is falling apart. I'm loyal and my heart is pure. I don't give up on people until I have no choice but to.
I'm at a weird place in life. My younger self was way more social and kept in touch with people I love. My current self is super introverted and don't really talk to people I love a lot but I still love em though. People probably be thinking ion fuck with em or I'm mad at em or something but that's not the case. I just be at peace when I'm closed off. I can interact on social media and shit because it's through a screen and I still have that space to be introverted but outside of social media I'm super closed off and don't even understand why myself. Maybe one day I'll come outta this shit or maybe not but It's all love either way.
honestly, if u know how difficult and how long it took some people to recover their peace of mind and happiness, you'll understand why they shut all doors at any slight discovery of toxicity, and also why they can be so picky about who they allow in their lives.
Yeah a break up hurts but have you ever wasted years of your life on trying to show someone how much you love them to then come to a realisation that they'd already known the whole time it was just a manipulation strategy to keep you loving them and forgetting about yourself till now years later you're stuck trying to find who you were because in the process of loving them you lost you
Really take your time getting to know people. Don't be so excited to connect. People have so much hidden intentions, hidden relationships, hidden personality traits! They will do everything to impress you before showing themselves. TAKE YOUR TIME. Say NO sometimes. Don't go out of your way to impress too soon! Sometimes those 'vibes' be ACTS. Protect your peace.
I'm not interested in complicated relationships... with friends, family or lovers. I'm not interested in constantly explaining what I meant. I'm not interested in making sure we're on good terms bc you're acting weird. I'm not interested in shrinking myself to make us equal..
Nobody really talks about how draining it is living in that in-between space. One minute you telling yourself things gon get better, the next minute you feel like you at your breaking point. Your emotions stay swinging all day, hope fighting exhaustion, faith fighting burnout. You keep pushing because you have to, not because it's easy. It's a quiet battle, feeling both strong and tired at the same time, holding on while barely hanging on. And that space? That's where a lot of healing starts, even when it don't feel like it yet.
As you get older.. you should wanna carry yourself differently. Your mindset should be different. Your morals should be different. Your choices should be different. It's certain things you can entertain & certain things you have no business entertaining anymore. You should always think HIGHLY of yourself to the point you know some things don't deserve your energy. At this age you should be mature enough to know the importance of self value.
i saw this post that said "sometimes i feel so weird explaining to someone how inconsiderate they were in a situation. it's like if you didn't feel yourself wildin idk what's left to say."
real is rare and when it's in you it feels so wrong to explain
The best relationships are built between two people who love their solitude. Because they come together by choice, not need. Their connection is complement, not completion.
They share peace instead of chasing it. That's why it feels light, not because it's easy, but because it's aligned.
That's divine partnership.
