It's very important to remind people that there was life before them and there will always be life after them.

"If I wouldn't do it to them, why are they doing it to me?"

Because they're watching you do it to yourself

The way we allow ourselves to be treated becomes the standard we teach other people to follow. Every time you ignore your own needs, excuse disrespect, abandon your boundaries, or accept less than you deserve, you're showing others what you'll tolerate

People don't always treat us the way we'd treat them. They often treat us the way we consistently treat ourselves

Now, why you're in that position is a different story. Maybe it's what love looked like growing up. Maybe it's fear of being abandoned, people pleasing, low self worth, or patterns you've never had the chance to question. There's always a reason, but there's also a way forward

The relationship you're willing to have with yourself is the relationship you'll often invite from others

Just try your best, get off your phone as much as you can, honor your hurt feelings and also the hurt feelings of others, favor sincerity over nonchalance whenever it’s appropriate to, reach out to people you miss, let go of people when it’s time, operate from a deeply rooted self respect rather than from a lens of what people think, try your best to read the room, sit in the sun on overcast days (with sunscreen on), drink lots of water, pursue everything you want aggressively, accept that your timeline will be different, welcome detours if circumstances call for them, hold both yourself and others accountable, try to move your body as much as you can and you will be okay diva

Controversial take but I think we more often need to accept that sometimes it’s not personal, but that a person still doesn’t fuck with us. They don’t want a relationship with us, they don’t wanna be our friend. We’re not their type for whatever reason. They don’t hate us but they aren’t interested in building something with us in any capacity. It’s not that they have a lot going on, it’s not that they can’t receive love, it’s not what a lot of people concoct just not to deal with the sting of rejection. Sometimes we’re just not somebody’s type. And that’s okay and we don’t have to curl up in fetal position in a corner about it. We will not be the type of every person we encounter and that is natural and nothing to lose sleep over
