I’ve mastered the skill of feeling guilty for asking for anything
actually i love growing older and learning how i work as a person like realizing what kinds of fabrics feel best on my skin or what brand of yogurt i like best or how I want to be touched. watching myself change, enjoying brussel sprouts when I used to hate them as a child, understanding why I got angry in that one conversation 10 years ago… there are so many mysteries inside me that i have yet to unravel and there will always be more and sometimes i think maybe its all worth it
“I like you, but I just don’t want a relationship right now”
Ladies, run for the hills. Indecision is a decision. If someone likes you, they’ll move mountains and cross seas to be with you, it’s as simple as that. If you have to question their affection constantly, pick up and go. No amount of empty words and long nights can make up for the fact that they don’t respect or like you enough to commit to you. The very fact that they’re taking advantage of relationship privileges says everything about the respect they have for you, and eventually the respect you have for yourself will wither, too. Sit back and look at your situation through a lense; an outsider. You’d scream at the girl on the other side to let go. You will find someone that wants these things with you, it just isn’t right now. Never compromise yourself at the expense of some boy who decided you weren’t enough, because you are, and someone else will find that in you. Once you realize the goddess you are and what you have to offer, you’ll never settle again.
