as an air dominant woman, i am finally making peace with the fact that my nurturing is not synonymous with always smothering you in attention. giving you attention is not helping me create anything with you. it& #39;s just fueling your need to be loved but not loving me in return.

because you& #39;ll take my absence and silence personally, as if i& #39;m taking from you instead of what i& #39;m really doing is recharging myself with all the love i just gave you. i was present for you and you don& #39;t understand what a daily challenge it is to ground in this body.

be grateful for me showing up and not angry that i& #39;m taking necessary space. i don& #39;t have to be there at all. what aren& #39;t you getting from me? i am speaking to you in your language. learn mine by learning how to be alone and independent from me. i& #39;m still here. i& #39;m just resting.

you have to understand that i don& #39;t do anything i don& #39;t want to do so if i didn& #39;t care about you, i& #39;d leave you alone. i do very well at cutting cords and moving on. you have to work with me. if i am showing up, you matter to me. you are a part of my life. i just have boundaries.

you are a part of my life but my life does not belong to you. i will only tell you once.
