Y’all…
There is NOTHING wrong with admitting you can’t live up to a person’s expectation.
YOU MUST admit that to yourself, FIRST.
You so caught in the hype that a person is going to be keen to the fact that you’re smart, or brilliant, or beautiful inside and out, or just WORTHY. (This goes both ways…so stay with me.)
Your mate has to see you HOW you see you…if not MORE.
There is this stigma surrounding the “fk ups” (generally they call themselves this in their mind). There’s a belief that they can’t get it right or they wont get it right. Yet, the truth of the matter is they deserve love too. They deserve compassion. They deserve someone that believes in them.
However, this is the part where one must admit a thing to themselves. They have to know their OWN worth. They have to want better for themselves, FIRST. The fk ups could be torn in between what’s easy (where they are/they’ve been) and what’s hard (where they’re wanting to go).
Know where you stand in the picture.
Withstand what you can. Dont tolerate what you can’t. It’s that simple. Dont allow YOURSELF to disappear in the process of their self discovery.
Be all about showing compassion, lending an ear, and giving a shoulder to cry on but DO NOT get yourself lost in their process. It’s theirs and they must go through it in order to get out on the other side and be ready to love and appreciate you. Or NOT.
Either way, darling…you’ll win. You’ve done your part. You will come out ON TOP. Continue to be who you’ve shown up to be since day one. Continue to BE GREAT. Nobody is fking with the authentic you. Nobody.
Live it. Breathe it. Believe it.
You’re worth fighting for…and nobody or NOTHING can ever change that.
Until Next Time…
