this heart is an empty room

Trust your body. When your intuition tells you something is off about a situation, a person, or a place—trust it and remove yourself immediately.

Maturity is when you realize people can't give you what they can't give themselves, so you stop expecting loyalty from people who betray themselves, stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves, and stop expecting peace from people who are at war with themselves.

To avoid disappointment, stop seeing the good in people and start seeing exactly what they’ve shown you.

You deserve a calm love with somebody who's your safe space, your best friend, and brings peace to your soul during stressful times.

Teaching your boundaries to be stronger than your soft heart is top tier self care.

After a while you get tired of telling people how they make/made you feel. you eventually just go ghost and never speak again.

The older you get, the more you choose calmness over drama and distance over disrespect. You prioritize your peace, mental health, and happiness — over everything.
