Unsung Weirdo

The biggest waste of my youth so far has been any time I waited for approval

And for the lady, perhaps a man who acts like loving you is the best decision he’s ever made

No exaggeration but theeeee most critical lesson I learned in my 20s was letting go when it was time. It’s so cliche but it’s so true. I used to hold on so venomously to people, put on a tap dance for their approval, force relationships to last past their expiration date, carry the heavy lifting for reaching out because I didn’t want to feel “passive.” But when someone doesn’t want your effort it’s not about passivity. It’s literally about self respect, not wasting your time, and gravitating only to people who have your best interest in mind and celebrate you. I’ve met so many older people who don’t know how to let go and it truly scares me that this could easily be me. It’s better to develop this skill early than it is to spend an entire lifetime begging for love and belonging.

No amount of chemistry can make up for a lack of emotional safety.

the glow up nobody talks about is the one where you stop reacting emotionally to everything

You don’t owe anyone your softness twice.

no one is coming to save you not because you’re all alone in this world but because you have to be the one to do it

learning to be less intense by not giving a fuck I guess

in the mood for a man to apologize to me

girl to girl. i hope the next one is obsessed with you and protects your heart like it's his job 🫶🏼

I love lay in bed and disassociate time

Even platonically, I love intensely.

I do.

And no they don’t think of you

realizing nothing can fill my void other than doing everything i said i would do for myself
