1
Don't chase people who don't value you. Don't stay at places where you feel more exhausted than excited. Don't expect respect from someone who is never willing to meet you halfway. If they can't honor your presence, they deserve your absence.

No relationship is easy. Everyone has low days and they can be difficult. What matters is if they understand what hurt you, they make room for your point with an open mind, they don't go cold, they try to fix the issue.

Some people are meant to be part of one chapter of your story and some stay longer. Everyone has a role to play. There's a reason they meet you. Enjoy every season while it lasts. Don't force connection. Don't regret anything. Every presence is meaningful if you look back later.

Some people will like you and some won't. And it's ok. You don't like many people either. You aren't meant to be everyone's cup of tea. Don't chase. Teach people to treat you right. Choose those who see the value your presence brings. Others don't matter.
