u ever catch urself bending over backward for someone who wldnt even lean forward for u? who dun even giv a fcukin shyte on good thgs u do, to them? it is funny - no, frustrating - it is, how often dis happens.
y do we keep tryin so hard for ppl who dun even try for us? ppl who dun meet us halfway, or even a quarter of the way. yet there we r, givin and givin, hoping they’ll fcukin notice.
maybe it’s becoz we care too much. or, maybe - becoz deep down, we think if we try harder, they’ll finally see our worth. maybe. i said, maybe. or, maybe we’ve convinced ourselves dat givin up means we failed - dat we din “love enuff” or “do enuff.”
yet i came to a realisation a lil while ago on one thg: u cant force someone to show up for u. u cant make someone stand up for u. or be there for u. u cant make someone value u jst becoz u value them on the first place pun. darn it doesnt work dat way. u knw it doesnt work dat way too, dun u?
so, y do we do it? i dun knw. i dun hav the answer. maybe it is habit. maybe it is hope. or maybe it’s jst who we r - we giv becoz we want to, becoz we dun know how not to. becoz we dun knw wat else to do. but there comes a point where u have to ask urself: is dis worth it?
i realised dat trying too hard for someone who wldnt do the same for u is not noble. u mght not be agree wit me, but it's ok - like i truly giv a flyin fcuk pun. the fact is - it is draining. memenatkan. relationship - friendships, family, love - darn they need balance. they need ppl who try together.
so, i gez if someone doesnt try for u, maybe it is time to stop tryin so hard for them. save ur energy for those who show up, those who care w/o u asking, and those who make u feel like u r enuff - jst as u r. get up, stand up, and walk ur fat arse out of it.
y? becoz u r enuff. and anyone who doesnt see dat? well, maybe they r the ones who dun fcukin deserve u, at all.

u hav a good day ahead, ya?
Yeah only give 50% even after couple or partnered. Its not about trusting others, its about trust yourself after betrayal. Can you trust yourself to handle that kind of situation?
ReplyDeletei get it. after betrayal, the real question isnt about trusting others; it is about trusting urself (again). can u handle it if thgs fall apart again? and giving 50% isnt about holding back; it is about staying grounded - dat u r leavin spaces for urself, jst in case.
ReplyDeletecoz in the end, trusting urself means knowing u’ll survive, no matter wat.
thanks for commenting. i appreciate it much.
