" I would rather adjust my life to someones absence than adjust my boundaries to their disrespect. "

it took me a while to come to terms with the fact that being alone isn't a bad thing. as someone with a plethora of mental issues being alone is way better for my mental health than any romantic connection i could have. prioritising me has been so nice and so much more fulfilling than letting others take energy the don't deserve.

this is exactly the mindset I've developed in the past two three years and I've been so so happy. sure sometimes it stings that the person you care for doesn't care for you, but there's also a very beautiful feeling in being content with just your own presence

Reading this, I completely resonate with it. Nothing in life is more valuable than peace of mind. And even though experiences can vary depending on gender and age, all of us have lived through relationships that broke us in different ways. Many of us stayed longer than we should have out of fear of being alone, or because of that dangerous thought that whispers, “What if no one will ever want to be with me after this?”

It is a heavy question to sit with, and it pushes people into places they never deserved to be.

But let me tell you this. When one door closes, another one really does open. There is an infinite amount of joy and connection in the world, but you only see it when you stop gripping the past and start looking forward again.

It has been a little over ten months since I decided to end my last relationship. I won’t lie, it was hard and painful. The idea of going back crossed my mind many times. I kept remembering the good days we shared and convincing myself that maybe one more try would finally change everything. But every time that thought came, I told myself, “This will pass, and you are going to be okay.”

And eventually, it did pass. I became okay. More than okay.

Letting go of old habits and creating new ones saved me. Writing was the turning point. Allowing my thoughts to spill out without structure, just filling one or two pages every day, helped me see things clearly. You start noticing patterns, truths, and emotions that usually stay buried. Writing lets you understand life in ways you never could before. It teaches you to appreciate even the quiet parts of yourself.

Men can be so self centered. And love themselves more than anyòne else so becareful. A very sucessful man can be so selfabsorbed into his career his popularity and no time for others. A sign is failed marriages especially more than one means takes no time to be a husband

Women about relationships. What i just read is sad if they dont respond he will stop . So ladies he is so handsome intelligent has the greenest eyes has millions of followers but never sucessful love history. So be very careful when looking for a sweet loving man. Some love only themselves.
