A woman who loves you should never be crossed.
Thinking about how silly I’d been to attempt to compete for a man who wasn’t worthy of a good woman’s love made me instinctively rub the tattoo on the side of my ear. It was a constant reminder to myself that I was indeed worthy of being loved correctly.
The wrong person for you will never be capable of loving you the right way. And a person who truly loves you will never put you in a position to feel like you are not enough for them. I learned at a very young age just because you love a person doesn’t mean they’re good for you.
My heart was too pure to deal with anyone who didn’t have intentions to protect and love it correctly.
Whenever a man knows he’s in the wrong, he’ll either try to play the victim in the situation or he’ll say anything to turn the tables on you.
a woman who’s been cheated on will cheat back to up the score. She knows her cheating will hurt him more than it hurt her. You see, you men can dish it out, but y’all can’t take it. So once she reached the point where she felt like she was ready to be done with him for good, she made sure to do the one thing she knew would hurt him the most before she left. She gave his goods away. She got her revenge.”
“The woman who’s going to make you realize the way you feel about a person can outweigh the things they’ve done in their past. As long as they make you feel good and are good to you, the things they’ve done in their past don’t mean a damn thing.”
We can’t walk around expecting women to be perfect knowing damn well we ain’t never been
Sounds to me like he’s a man who can’t handle a real woman because real women don’t let men tell them how they should live their lives. Real women don’t let men’s insecurities dictate the kind of woman they should be.
Fake love feels real when you really want it, baby. No one can fault you for wanting to make the love you thought y’all shared work.”
“Dretti, clearly listen to me when I tell you this. When a woman loves a man, ain’t nothing nobody can do to stop it. Aniya’s young-minded ass thinks she’s in love, and until she realizes Exon’s love isn’t the kind of love she needs, nothing anyone says is going to make her fall out of it. Exon can be the most ain’t shit man in the world, and she’ll still stand right behind him, helping him clean up his bullshit. Trust me.”
Sometimes you have to let the people you love fall on their ass so they can realize how soft and precious it actually is.
“I tried to warn her that karma didn’t play,”
“It’s crazy how fast it can come back around too.”
