It's funny how the most testing relationships are not even those on the romantic side. This is so beautifully written and relatable. It’s amazing how you’ve stayed true to your values and chosen love, even when it wasn’t easy. I admire your strength and the wisdom you’ve gained from those experiences. Not letting it make you bitter says a lot about your core values. And yes, striking that balance between being kind and protecting your energy is so important. Because there as much as we have people who will help us flourish, there are also people who will drain you, intentionally or unintentionally.
You’ve said it all, Mide. You’ve said it all.
I’m glad I I figured it out early and thank you for heartwarming words.
