It's my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

You can control what you do, but you can't control what your partner does. Sometimes, your actions may dictate how your partner responds to you.

"See Finish" a Nigerian slang that refers to a situation where someone thinks they know everything there is to know about another person, leading them to undervalue the person's worth and opinions. This phenomenon is particularly common in relationships where one partner takes the other for granted and doesn't even bother to listen to their thoughts or ideas.

Being on the receiving end of 'See Finish' can be incredibly frustrating and demoralizing. It can make you feel like you're not good enough, that your opinions don't matter, and that you're constantly being overlooked and undervalued. In a relationship, this can lead to frustration, resentment, and a lack of trust, which can ultimately destroy the relationship.

To avoid falling into the trap of 'See Finish', it's important to remember that no one is perfect. No matter how well you think you know someone, there will always be aspects of their personality, experiences, and opinions that you're not aware of. Instead of assuming that you know everything there is to know about someone, take the time to really listen to them, engage with them, and show them that you value their input and ideas.

In a relationship, this means making a conscious effort to be present, attentive, and respectful towards your partner. Don't assume that you know what they're thinking or feeling. Ask them, listen to their responses, and validate their experiences. This will not only help you build a stronger, more meaningful connection with your partner, but it will also show them that you value them as a person and that you're willing to put in the effort to make the relationship work.

Lastly, 'See Finish' is a destructive force that can undermine even the strongest of relationships. By taking the time to really engage with your partner, show them that you value their opinions and ideas, and avoid falling into the trap of assuming that you know everything about them, you can build a relationship that is based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding, the key ingredients for a lasting, fulfilling relationship.

Love Alone Is Not Enough Just like baking a cake, flour (love) alone does not make a cake (relationship). Other ingredients are needed to add to the flour, to make a delicious decadent cake. You will pass through a lot of heat (trials), but you will come out a delicious decandent cake. Know that the recipe matters. You may not be a good cake decorator, make sure your cake is a to die for. Yes, you can use other people's recipes, but fine tune their recipes (relationship) to make it your own.  #megcartercoaching #relationshiptalkwithzebra #lovealoneisnotenough https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOwqZkpyRd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
