I don’t need anyone in my life that makes me feel like I’m difficult to love.

Being charming all of the time must be exhausting.

I admire people who are able to put up a mask of excitement, interest, and charisma.

But God, that must be exhausting...

The most romantic thing you can do for me is write me a physical love letter.

Telling me is nice, but showing me it perfect.

Joan Clayton from Girlfriend's is such a beautiful character in season 1 and season 2.

When she finally realizes that she has been allowing her friends and the people in her life to push her around and walk all over her, she makes a struggling effort to change it.

As a former people pleaser, I find this very relatable and heartbreaking all at the same time. You grow up believing that if you only show people what they consider to be "the best version of you", that you'll be rewarded with their love, loyalty, and respect. And sadly enough, life ends up showing you the oppisate.

You gain respect and love by being yourself. You attract the right people who are meant to be in your life, and reject the people who try to define you as the version of aa human they want you to be.

Be more like season 1 + 2 Joan. Find yourself and be just that.
