losing respect for someone is always such a weird thing because you don’t hate the person you just don’t feel the need to ever speak to them again or even think about them, you’re just done
Which person in your family do you look most like?
please remember that in a healthy, adult relationship (romantic or not), you should be able to talk about things that are bothering you. if you are bottling up your emotions and holding it against someone when you haven’t told them what is wrong, you’re not engaging in healthy behaviour. but also, if your friend/significant other makes you feel as though you can’t talk about what bothers you, i.e. has made you feel guilty/gotten extraordinarily angry when things were brought up in the past, they are not engaging in healthy behaviour
heat never feels so good as when we're cold. love never feels so good as when we're alone. rest and nurturing selfcare never feels so good as when we're sick. joy never feels so good as when we feel anger or sorrow. can you see how the light can't exist without the darkness?
it’s sad to think that you may never see or talk to someone again who you once considered to be one of the most important people in your life at a certain point in time. this is one of those concepts that I will never be able to understand.
in biology, when a cell is exposed to toxins, it closes up to protect itself. if it closes too long, nutrients stop getting in and it dies. cells are smaller versions of people.
