Condolences to anybody who just realized their friend was never really their friend. That’s a significant kind of heartbreak. Real ones know!

People will admire your emotional intelligence until it's time for them to swim in it. They'll appreciate your empathy, understanding, or validation until your emotional intelligence demands accountability, difficult conversations, or sitting with emotions they want to suppress.

I believe that people's actions can make it clear that they have no respect or regard for you, regardless of what they say. Their actions clearly indicate that they don't value you. When you notice this, take it for what is. Remember, actions speak louder than words.

i think when you’re transitioning from being a people pleaser to someone with more boundaries it’s so weird, because it’s hard to tell if you’re being mean or if you’re just listening to your own feelings because you’re so used to this and only thinking about others.

Ppl will admire your depth until it’s time to swim in it. They’ll praise your wisdom until it holds them accountable… love your light until it exposes their shadows.They’ll crave your energy until they realise it’s not free

One thing getting older has taught me is that things in life aren’t just going to magically get better because you want them to. You literally have to curate that reality for yourself and make certain choices that will allow for “better” to exist.

THAT GYM AND BIBLE GONE CHANGE YOU.

Normalize not forcing your importance in someone's life. Let people do what they want so you can see what they'd rather do. If someone doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don’t try to convince them.

i’m done. i’m washing my hands with a lot of things. i dont like when people want to play with me or my character . i know ive been solid and genuine on my end so imma have to leave people where they at. people be miserable with themselves and its definitely a personal problem.

You don't get what you want, you get what you're willing to suffer for. And once you realize your goals may not be in your "budget", you can either buy cheaper goals, or pay more. But the price never changes.

I am no longer apologizing for being me. Yes, I'm confrontational. Yes, I'm bluntly honest. Yes, if you disrespect me, I will politely disrespect you. I am so sick and tired of molding my personality for the sake of other people's feelings when they have disregard for my own.

People talk about big goals, but protect their weekends. They say they want more, but avoid hard conversations. They dream big, but hit snooze every morning. What you do is who you are. Not what you say you want.

“I JUST DONT WANT THAT FOR MYSELF ANYMORE” is a valid enough reason to stop fw anything

The pain of separation will never compare to the joy of them no longer being the main source of suffering in my life. It was never worth the panic attacks, the breakouts, the overthinking, the lack of sleep, but most importantly, the disrespect and neglect of myself.

People demand success but refuse to work weekends. People want opportunity but won't talk to strangers. People claim ambition but sleep in everyday. We are the result of our actions not our aspirations.

y’all not REAL chilaquiles lovers like me

Don't leave anything for later. Later, the coffee gets cold. Later, you lose interest. Later, the day turns into night. Later, people grow up. Later, people grow old. Later, life goes by. Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

Greatest lesson I've learned this year is you can't have one foot in your old life and one foot in your new life and expect change. You have to fully commit to the new life.

your competition isn’t other people. it’s - your ego - your procrastination - your lack of discipline - your bad habits - your self doubt - the knowledge you neglect to learn - the unhealthy food you consume now go and declare war on your competition.
