i remembering being in a relationship that made me hate myself solely based off of their actions.. i blamed myself for everything from them not wanting to commit to their inconsistencies. it was on me. i stayed & beat myself up over shit i had no control over bc i “loved” them.

but i never sat back for once & asked myself that if they loved me, why would they allow & contribute to me feeling this way?? that’s when it hit that mfs really will sit in a relationship w you bc of what you can offer (sex, a shoulder to lean on, etc) & not bc they love you..

it’s so important to love yourself so you can see that! you know how you are when you love someone so don’t settle for anything less than that same exact energy back in return or more!! settling doesn’t do shit in the end but make you feel less than & it’s not worth it at all.
