When there are things that we want in life, they tend to consume our thoughts. We start to obsessively think about the things we want most and it starts to take up a lot of our time, energy and thought. Turn that obsessive thought into prayer. Give it to God and let Him take care of it. Stop worrying and trying to achieve everything on your own and ask God for help.

going forward, I’d like to affirm myself that I deserve quality experiences. I deserve to have experiences with people/men that add joy to my life, where we have real conversations, we can resolve our issues, and continue to build a community that nurtures us as people. I deserve to be poured into. I deserve friends who consider me enough to communicate with me anything they need clarity on, or if they have an issue with something. I deserve friends who are loyal to me. I deserve friends who love on me, who prioritize me, who consider me. I deserve friends who want to take me on adventures. I deserve friends who value me. I deserve friends who mention my name in rooms that they know I will flourish in.

When you’re with the right person(s), you don’t have to worry about it going “both ways” all the time.

I can tell a man where he went wrong, bc I have self awareness + accountability in what I do. I’m confident in admitting my mistakes. I’m a student in everything I do.

You wanna help each other grow and flourish. If you have to constantly prove to the other person that it goes both ways, ask yourself if you need to stay in that relationship with said individual.

That individual clearly doesn’t care about your needs.

Over here, there’s no competition. There’s no bickering. I don’t want to fight you. I’m not here to make you feel less than.

I wanna help you. I wanna inspire you. I wanna learn you. I wanna understand you. I wanna give you room to grow. I wanna give you a safe space to heal.

A lot of men have not experienced that from women, which is understandable.

This is where we break the cycle. Care for those who show that they care about you.

“We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.”

I dislike being in positions where someone means more to me than I do to them.
