@joihunt_esq: Let me tell you something I had to learn the hard way. You TEACH people how to TREAT you‼️ Not because you’re weak. Not because you’re not enough. But because some people stop appreciating what they never have to earn. The more you tolerate, the more they normalize it. The more chances you give, the less valuable those chances become. Loyalty is beautiful. Patience is beautiful. Standing by someone during a hard season is beautiful. But there is a difference between helping someone through a storm and making a home in one. A man should never be more comfortable hurting you than he is afraid of losing you. Stop wearing your ability to endure pain like it’s a badge of honor. You weren’t created to prove how much you can survive. You were created to experience love, peace, respect, and reciprocity too. Sometimes the lesson isn’t learning how to stay. Sometimes the lesson is learning when to leave. Drop a 🩷 if you also learned this lesson the hard way!
