Aht Aht! ✋🏽

You didn’t do all that healing for nothing.

Don’t be fooled.

They’re not coming back because they’re sorry.
They’re not coming back because they’ve changed.

They see you moving on.
They see your peace.
They see your glow.
They see the overflow that’s about to hit after everything you survived.

Where were they when you were crying yourself to sleep?
Where were they when you were trying to figure it all out alone?
Where were they when you were carrying the weight by yourself?

Remember how that felt.

You can forgive people and still refuse to give them access.

Forgiveness does not require reconciliation. 🤎

Wanna know if he resents you? 👀

Pay attention when you win. 👑

Watch how he reacts to your accomplishments.
Watch how he responds when you’re celebrated.
Watch his patterns on your birthday, holidays, and special moments.

A man who loves you doesn’t compete with you.
He doesn’t diminish your wins, ignore your milestones, or make your special moments about himself.

People reveal how they truly feel about you when it’s your turn to shine. ✨
