Aura is when you’re literally doing nothing and somehow people still decide you’re intimidating, mysterious, arrogant, interesting, or “different.” girl, i was just standing here.

After i heal from this, please don’t let me ever meet a man who only knows how to love halfway. i never loved halfway, and i don’t want to spend another chapter teaching someone how to love me fully.

i’m learning that consistency, communication, effort, and clarity should never have to be begged for, repeatedly explained, or dragged out of someone. if someone says they care about you but their actions constantly leave you confused, pay attention. words can say a lot, but actions will always tell you what you really need to know.

A lot of men today are losing relationships over behaviors their fathers got away with for years. they were raised to believe women would tolerate disrespect, betrayal, and control and still stay. but a lot of women inherited a different lesson: “what my mother had to endure, i refuse to.”

i don’t regret meeting you, but if life ever gave me the chance to meet you all over again, i’d simply mind my business and keep it moving.

My mom always used to say, “what’s done in the dark will always come to light.” people might hide things, avoid consequences, and get away with them for a while, but the truth has a way of finding its way to the surface eventually.

You gotta stop trying to be the right person for people who were never right for you. the more you prove, explain, and overgive, the more of yourself you lose. stop auditioning for a place in someone’s life. go where being yourself is already enough.

cheaters, abusers, and habitual liars really think they can hurt people, walk away, and just start over like nothing happened. life has a funny way of reminding people that their actions still have consequences.

A man is wrong for entertaining another woman while he’s committed. but when the other woman knows he’s taken and still chooses to entertain him, she isn’t innocent either. betrayal may start with one person, but sometimes it takes two people to keep it going.

what’s not meant for you will keep showing you why it isn’t. sometimes the red flags, disappointments, and closed doors are the answer you keep asking for.

Not to flirt or anything, but i’d bring you your favorite coffee at work, sit beside you during lunch, and happily sit in silence if that’s the kind of company you needed. no pressure to talk, just me being there.

I. DO. NOT. WANT. TO. BE. IN. THE. CATEGORY. OF. BEING. “ALMOST CHOSEN, ALMOST LOVED” ANYMORE. i want to be chosen fully, loved fully, and never left questioning where i stand.

i heard someone say, “you came into his life to show him a kind of love he had never experienced, and then he showed you exactly why he had never experienced it before.” and honestly… that one is deep. some people can receive the love they always wanted and still not know how to handle it.
