And I guess I never learned. It feels like that year all over again.. like I’m stuck in the same loop, the same patterns that I thought I had outgrown. I built up walls, set boundaries, tried to protect myself from this kind of pain, this kind of disrespect. But here I am again. All the years I spent learning, growing, trying to be better, and it feels like it’s all slipping away.
It’s like they don’t even see the effort, the sacrifices, the energy I poured into this. I thought I had figured it out, learned from the past, developed into someone stronger, more aware of what I needed, more aware of what I deserved. But somehow, it feels like I’m back to square one. Maybe I didn’t learn the lesson I thought I did.
I gave so much of myself, trusted people, and hoped things would be different. But every time, it’s the same story. All that work, all that growth, and it’s like it was for nothing. The same disrespect, the same lack of appreciation. And the worst part? It’s like I expected it, in some way. Maybe I never really learned to protect myself properly. Maybe I thought I could change the narrative, but I guess I’m still writing the same chapter.
All I can say is... I just never learned.
