Some relationships make you feel like you’re always getting something wrong.
There’s a reason for that, love.
it's b/c they come loaded with rules you literally cannot win.
Be honest.
{unspoken: But don’t say anything that hurts me.}
Be yourself.
{unspoken: But not like that.}
Tell me what you need.
{unspoken: But don’t make me feel responsible for it.}
You can say no.
{unspoken: But now that you did, I’m disappointed in you.}
Trust yourself.
{unspoken: But why would you think THAT?}
And after enough rounds of trying to solve an unsolvable equation, you stop questioning the equation at all.
👀 You start questioning yourself. 😶🌫️
Maybe you’re not “too much,” love.
And just maybe you’re not terrible at relationships either.
Maybe you were just trying to satisfy 2 rules that could never be satisfied at the same fu***ng time.
⤴️ Share this with someone else who’s spent years wondering why they could never quite “get it right.”
