Don’t get into a relationship with anyone until you can honestly answer these two questions… Am I actually healed… or just hoping someone else will stop the bleeding? Do I really want this person… or do I just want someone to save me from loneliness?
Most people don’t realise how much of their stress, anxiety, and self-doubt comes from giving a fuck about all the wrong things. What people think. What they expect. What they might say. What doesn’t actually matter in the long run. You waste so much energy trying to be liked, trying to be perfect, trying to avoid judgment… until one day you wake up and realise none of it changed anything... except your peace. Not giving a fuck isn’t always easy. But once you master it… you become untouchable. Immune to bullshit. Impossible to manipulate. And way too sharp to be disrespected.
I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to observe you. I’m not trying to win you over. I’m seeing if who you are actually complements who I am. I’m not dating to be chosen. I’m dating to see if I want to choose you.
Maybe you can relate to this, or maybe you know someone who this relates to… either way, it’s the reason why most people who don’t want to be single, are single today.
You always know when something isn’t right. You feel it in your gut, in your energy, in how drained you are after being around them, or in that job, or in that place that’s quietly killing your spark. But instead of walking away, you tell yourself it’s “not that bad.” You convince yourself to wait it out, to try a little harder, to settle for the bare minimum because at least it’s something. But here’s the truth: The longer you stay in the wrong place, the more it convinces you that you belong there. That you can’t do better. That you don’t deserve better. Like that chaos, that emptiness, that bare minimum… is all you're worth. Let me remind you: It’s not. If something is slowly destroying your peace, your self-worth, your joy… you owe it to yourself to walk the away. Not because it’s easy. But because staying is costing you way more than leaving ever will.
