Nobody talks about the guy who shows up during your healing stage. The one who’s calm, patient, & genuinely kind. He makes you feel safe in ways you didn’t even realise you needed. He’s not love bombing or playing games…he’s consistent, steady, and truly sees you.

Most ppl don’t realise this, the body grieves routine before it grieves a person. So you aren’t crying over him. You’re crying over the version of yourself that was shaped by his patterns, attuned to his silences, fluent in the unspoken language of his inconsistencies.

I saw a TikTok where a woman said, if you’re a giver, you need to find another giver to love. You’ll always be happier with someone like you. And damn… if that ain’t the truth. Bc givers don’t just love, we pour. We stretch, we sacrifice, we make space where there is none.

Maturing is realising no one will ever talk you out of a man. You have to feel your way out. You’ll rationalise & hope, but the soul leaves first. Long before you pack your bags, the detachment begins when the apologies don’t soothe you & the patterns stop surprising you.

The loneliness that comes with fixing your life… hits different. It’s not just about being alone, it’s sitting in the quiet after you’ve walked away from everything & everyone that wasn’t good for you. It’s the ache that comes when you say no to ppl you once said yes to.

Some men don’t love beautiful women. They love owning beautiful women. They love being the sole witness to your glow, the quiet puppeteer behind how you see yourself. I remember this girl who went on a Valentine’s date with a man who should’ve been proud to be seen with her. 1/6.

If you want to see the depths of someone’s emotional maturity, tell them they’ve hurt you. The way they react to your pain, will tell you everything you need to know. It’s like holding up a mirror to them, and in that reflection, you’ll see the real contours of their character.

There’s a thin line btwn someone who’s emotionally unavailable & someone who just doesn’t want you. And when you’re emotionally invested, that line doesn’t just blur , it dissolves. Bc when the heart is hungry, even breadcrumbs feel like a meal.

The biggest ick. a paranoid, unhealed man. Not bc he’s hard to love but bc he’ll make love hard for you. If a man is committed to his pain more than he is to his healing, he will drag you into the war he has with himself.

There is no one busier than someone who’s not interested. And what’s mad is they’ll still tell you things that sound true enough to keep you holding on. It’s never loud disinterest, & it makes you question your instincts. So instead of leaving, you rationalise their absence.

I told my client today the depression & anxiety you’re feeling, isn’t actually sadness. That’s why you feel disconnected from everything & don’t know why. That’s why texts go unanswered bc replying feels too much. Depression isn’t always crying in the dark….

Maturing is realising no amount of chemistry will outweigh the slow erosion of your sanity when you’re dating someone who hasn’t fully chosen you. It’s reminding yourself “I don’t care how great it feels now. I care how safe it feels later.”.

What made letting go easier for me is realising I was never the problem. Some ppl don’t want love; they want freedom from accountability, expectations, from the weight of consistency. They’ll entertain you for as long as your boundaries and standards are low.

No contact is saying “I will no longer abandon my reality for the sake of an imagined version of you.” Bc to keep the door open, energetically or literally is to keep your soul hostage to a future that doesn’t exist.

Lauryn Hill once said, “Everybody wants to know where you’re going to, ’cause they wanna come or so they think , until they find the cost of it. Until they find out what you lost for it.” If that ain’t the truth. Ppl romanticise your becoming, but couldn’t stomach your unbecoming.

There’s 3 stages to No Contact & most ppl don’t realise that the 2nd is where their nervous system rebels. Here’s how to do it; . Step 1: Initiation. The moment you say: “I’m done.”It’s the easiest part bc you’re not detached yet. You’re just determined.

Maybe the love story you’ve been searching for is about choosing yourself even when loneliness tries to make you beg. Maybe it’s about finally seeing yourself & letting that be enough. You don’t obsess bc you love. You obsess bc something in you is starving.

There’s a dangerousness in outsourcing your safety for a man. Let me walk you through it. When your emotional security depends on whether he calls, stays, chooses, changes…you’re not in a relationship, you’re in limbo. And limbo is the most seductive forms of self-abandonment.

A lot of men aren’t heartless, they’re hurting. They’re not emotionally unavailable just emotionally unstable. And there’s a big difference. That’s why so many of them show up as avoidants. But it goes deeper than fear of intimacy. Let’s talk about it;.

Being ghosted is a bullet dodged. They knew they couldn’t give & take, so they chose to take & leave. It’s a confession disguised as silence. It’s not just avoidance, it’s inability. Yes I hurts, it leaves questions unanswered but also, you didn’t lose. You got spared. 1/2.

Some men are poets of pain but students of nothing. A man who can’t be alone with himself will never really be with you either. You’ll just be the next place he hides. It’s subtle at first. He’ll talk about how “healing” but somehow, he’s never single.

I’ve felt the intensity of obsession, the endless overthinking of a talking stage. I’ve given energy to men who weren’t ready. I highly recommend stepping back, focus on your own goals. The way out is simple, but it takes discipline. Remove their access to you. 1/2.

Some ppl will walk into your life, flip everything upside down, & leave like they never touched a thing. No care. No accountability. No emotional intelligence. It isn’t that they don’t see the damage, they do. They just bury it. They’re avoidants of theirs emotions too.
58

This is the kind of thinking that keeps ppl trapped in situationships, mistaking chaos for connection & turnover for depth. Romanticising breakups isn’t profound, it’s a symptom of a culture that fears finality, accountability & the weight of choice.
Breaking up and getting back together is a key part of long-term relationships in the current frame of commitment today but many aren't ready for that conversation.

Healing is when you become harder to fool & easier to love. And maturing is realising you’re not just picking a partner. You’re picking how safe it’ll feel later. You’re choosing the soil from which your next seasons of self esteem will grow… or rot.

When they start hitting you with excuses, work’s too busy, time isn’t on their side, life’s just a lot & you stay holding space… only for them to pop back up with more of the same. That’s not even emotional unavailability, it’s selective effort.
27

When you taste the sweetness of compatibility, chaos stops being appealing. You stop romanticising the highs & lows, mistaking mixed signals for mystery. Bc when it’s right, there’s no guessing game. No over explaining. No waiting for someone to “choose” you properly. Love flows.

Avoidants, what was the moment… the shift… that made you stop running from love & start letting it hold you, even when you were scared? Was it a person, a feeling, a realisation?.

Mixed signals means they don’t like you like that. When someone really wants you there’s no confusion. No guessing. Maybe you grew up thinking love had to be earned. Maybe you’re used to crumbs bc that’s what feels familiar. Or maybe you think be patient enough, they’ll change.

An insecure man doesn’t always know he’s insecure. This is why observing behaviour over time is the best decision you’ll ever make. Intentions can be rehearsed. Psychological time always tells the truth bc ppl don’t just act, they repeat. The repetition shows the truth.

The most humbling thing is meeting someone with your attachment style. It’s like seeing your shadow come to life. Two fearful avoidants, silently wishing to be held, yet terrified of what would happen if someone saw them fully & left them. Let’s work through it;.

Sometimes, maturing & healing is standing in the mirror & admitting, “Them not choosing me hurt.” Not dressing it up with pride, just sitting with the raw truth. Bc we do hurt. But this gives you sight. Not just to the pain itself, but to the patterns it creates. 1/5.

Going no contact only works when you teach your brain what you deserve. Your brain craves familiarity not love. It clings to what it knows even when it’s toxic. You relapse when you romanticise the good & skip over the hurt. So flip the script, replay the lies, the disrespect.

Maturing is saying, “I don’t care how good it feels right now… I care how safe it feels later.” See, intensity can feel like intimacy when you’re still healing. It’s about recognising the diff between someone who’s regulating with you & someone who’s dysregulating through you.
