Fortunate Nombuso :
This hit me HARD because all my life, in almost every relationship I’ve had, I have been the social worker, debt collector, bank, psychologist, mother… 😭😂 I was everything EXCEPT the pretty girl.
And the scary part? I’ve realised I kept attracting relationships where I had to be all those things.
Now that I’m getting back into the dating game, I’m honestly scared because I’m learning that I have to navigate love differently. I don’t want to automatically fix, rescue, provide, overgive or carry someone anymore.
I want to be the pretty girl. 😂❤️I want to be loved, pursued, cared for, supported and considered WITHOUT having to earn it by overextending myself.
One plus one is two. If he wants to, he will.
And this time, I’m praying I have the wisdom to recognise the difference between someone who genuinely needs a partner and someone who is looking for someone to carry them. 😭😂
New dating era: less rescuing, more receiving. ❤️
