Is the natural sunlight making me look fucked up or is it giving cute like is it giving like yeah
It looks good, or we look stupid. I can’t tell hi friends
So this week we’re talking about how to do what’s right even when it hurts
And I got a personal example to share with you and the reason we’re talking about it is because I’m going through it
I met a guy
Recently and we all know that I do not meet people I do not date
I don’t like that shit, but I ended up meeting someone that I really connected with and everything was going great
It was peaches and cream and then I ended up having to cut it off
And it was a very hard decision to make so I’m gonna share everything in this episode about
Doing what’s right?
Finding out which decision is the right one to make how to make it and then how to comfort yourself
After cuz dealing with the consequences even when you do the right thing when it fucking hurts
That’s some people don’t tell you about so I’ve got you. I’ll tell you how I dealt with myself and cried
So before we jump into this my birthday is next week. I’m gonna be 25. I’m giving old fucking geezer
I know I look 40 shut up. It’s the trauma. It aged me, but for my birthday. I’m dropping a very limited merch design
It’s gonna be a t-shirt and a hoodie that say in Leo we trust
It’s only gonna be available for my birthday the 24 hours of March 7th mark your fucking calendar, bitch
Cuz I don’t know if they’re gonna sell out
I don’t know
We’ll see if they sell out if they do sorry
But it’s only gonna be available for 24 hours even if they don’t sell out so you only got 24 hours to get it
So it’s gonna be midnight to midnight of March 7th
The link will be in the description to get one if you want one
But I like the idea of doing something very limited for my birthday
Like if you’re around at this time like you get it like you fuck with me like that
It’s like we have like a little piece of like our like journey together. You know cuz my shits like blowing up right now
So it’s like I want to have a way to like know who was like
Around and I’ve talked about doing that design before and you guys love it, but I wanted to make it special
So it’s only gonna be for my birthday. I will be posting about it on Instagram and tik-tok and all that
So if you forget I’ll remind you but set it in your fucking calendar bitch cuz last time I did a drop I had
200 orders in the first 20 minutes and girl if my birthday is anything like that
We selling out
So before we jump into me talking about the guy
I’m gonna tell you a couple of really hard decisions that I’ve had to make in my life
Because I’ve had to do it a lot since I’m very young
this is a skill I learned very early on handling adult situations and
making very hard decisions from a very young age and the first one started when I was 12 and
I chose to move out of my mom’s house and move in with my dad
There’s so much take into consideration and to be at such a young age to have to do that shit
Girl, that was just the beginning of it
Because when I was 16, I moved out of my dad’s and back into my mom’s and then when I was 17
I moved out of my mom’s again and back into my dad’s house and
Every single time it’s such a hard fucking thing to navigate and it’s such a hard thing to do
And it’s a very hard decision to make because when you have your parents like that and they’re split
They kind of take it as like a betrayal or at least like one of mine did they would make it like this huge fucking
Betrayal of like picking the other one over the other
So along with making the hard decision of what was best for little me at the time every time I’d have to choose which household
To go to it came with repairing the relationships with my parents
So there’s a lot of reasons why that was a very hard decision to make constantly
But then my senior year of high school
I wanted a fresh start and I wanted to just kind of like say fuck it and change school
So my senior year of high school
I literally switched to a whole new school whole new everything and didn’t know anybody didn’t know anything and I did it
It was a hard decision to make but my tolerance for making hard decisions is very high and I don’t regret that decision at all
But it was very scary and there’s a lot of decisions people want to make it
There’s a lot of things you guys write in to me about and ask like what to do
And I want to share some of the hard decisions that I’ve made so you can get like inspiration, but also
Know that I’m credible to talk about this shit with you
But another hard decision I had to make was quitting my first nursing job and I went through nursing school
Graduated started working where I precepted so basically at the end of nursing school you work in a hospital for six months for free
Under a nurse, but you’re basically doing all the nursing responsibilities
It’s just not on your license
And then when you graduate you can go work wherever you want
Typically people get hired on where they precept and that’s what I did
so I started working with who I precepted with in that department at that hospital and
Coming to the decision to leave that job after
Literally like three weeks. I think I think it was like a month
I made it a month as an actual nurse there, but like when I was a student there it was way different
So I basically was there for seven months
I worked there six months for free not as like an official nurse and then when I was a nurse
I lasted a month and
Coming to the decision to fucking leave that job was the scariest fucking shit
It was like it felt like everything I worked for
To get through nursing school was there and I had to choose to leave it because I wasn’t happy with it
But honoring the way that you fucking feel will never bite you in the ass
But you can’t just blindly trust your feelings. You have to be very logical
That’s where I’m saying. I’m gonna help you with everything
How to make the right decision another fucking hard decision probably the hardest one I’ve ever made in my life
Was to choose to leave an ex of mine
Who was able to give me a lifestyle?
I’ve always dreamed of so like
spending a hundred thousand dollars a month flying all over the world eating the nicest shit buying the nicest shit like anything that you could
fucking dream of I was living it and
that was probably the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was to choose to leave that person because it was leaving that lifestyle to
And a lot of people think that making a decision is just like oh you lose one aspect
There’s so much more that goes into it. I’m gonna teach you how to handle all of it
But that was a really hard fucking decision. Am I happy? I made it now
Yes, was I happy for the first year after I left fuck? No, it felt like the wrong decision
I felt like a fucking idiot
But I stuck to my values stuck to what mattered to me and got myself out of a very bad situation
Even though it was so fruitful
and then the last little decision that I wanted to talk about that I made was choosing to quit nursing entirely and pursue all of
My own personal dreams and desires and things and it’s worked the fuck out. So
Let’s jump in to talking about the guy I met you can tell I’m avoiding it
So when I was in LA, I met this guy and we hit it off from like the immediate moment that we met each other
It was like one of those
Like you just feel it and like the feelings was intense bitch
Like everything was just good. The chemistry was there the conversation was there the kissing was there like everything was fucking great
We didn’t kiss till like the second or third night, but this guy I met was like really fucking cool
we vibed very well, and it takes a lot to catch my attention and this motherfucker definitely caught it and
Feelings came to my Pisces I’d be falling in love in two seconds
But this was all heightened like everything I was feeling about this person and about this
Situation was heightened because it was someone I also saw value in it was someone who’s like in the lifestyle
I’m in and like doing all the shit that I do someone that gets it and like the way that we connected was just
like
weird like it was so crazy how fucking good it was and I’ve been single for the last two years and
Something that I was it like two and a half Wow two and a half years. It’s been what the fuck I was traumatized
But I truly forgot how good it feels to have someone you’re interested in romantically
Like just that connection and the feelings and all the romantic shit like everything on that front
I forgot how good it is. And when I got it again my picky ass who I am now
It’s like when I finally met someone that matched it
I was like what the fuck like it was nuts and it was just like I forgot how overwhelming and good it feels to have a
Person but basically we were compatible on all fronts like everything’s fucking great
But there is one thing about myself
I didn’t know fully yet and usually I’m into masculine guys. That’s my fucking preference. That’s my type
Myself is my type myself just shorter and you can have hair
But the guy that I met was not
Masculine and that was the only real hang-up that I had but I was so overwhelmed by how I felt toward him
I was blinded by it and it made me question if I even had that hang-up like is
Masculinity really something that I’m after because of how good I felt and like the way that shit was I was like I can’t overlook
It and I literally was like having to call into question. Is this even something I’m hung up about like it made me question myself
And what I like and what I prefer and what I desire and feeling so many things so fast
made me think I didn’t care about it and
I
Fully was just like in the moment and was just fucking feeling it and had a good-ass time
No, we did not have sex. Nothing like that happened. The most we did was like make out and cuddle
I don’t fuck like that and I make that very clear to everyone that I meet you don’t get access to me like that
It takes a lot and it takes me
Getting to know somebody and like a lot more than that, you know
It’s a commitment I made to myself and you don’t just get access no more. Nobody. I don’t give a fuck
But when I was in LA we hung out every fucking day I was there and then when I came home from LA
We were texting and talking on the phone all the fucking time and like four hours a night
I was talking to him on the phone and we were having like deep-ass conversations
And that’s shit that like gets me off is like when someone can keep up mentally
He could keep up and a lot of people are scared to talk about certain topics and deep things. He was with it
He liked it just as much as I did and I was so taken back like what the fuck like you mentally stimulate me
Oh my god, that’s hard, but also with that like having someone to talk to and
Feel cared about and feel checked in on and like having the excitement to like talk to somebody
That’s something that I didn’t realize that I missed. I forgot about that
Like I said, I’ve been single for two and a half years
There’s a lot of things that came up that I forgot how great they were and I forgot how strong those feelings were
but one of the biggest things that I missed about like having a person is
Someone to call when you’re upset and like get comfort like comfort from your partner or like your person that you’re
Interested in or dealing with that feels so good
I don’t know how to fucking explain it
But like I have plenty of people I can call I call my mom call my sister call my friends like I have people I
Can go to for comfort. I just forgot what it’s like to have like an
intimate
person
Comfort you and it’s good. It’s different. It’s nice
I didn’t realize I missed it. But now going through such a long period of being single
I appreciate these things when I have them even more. So this whole situation was just like too good to fucking be true and
I was so into it and I was like eating it up
But the way we communicated was so fucking adult and mature and like like I said, he kept up mentally
he kept up with everything and was just able to hang like the emotional maturity like the
Conversation style the communication like everything was just like on my level which is extremely hard to find
Like according to my past, I don’t know if it’s hard to find but I ain’t found a shit for a goddamn while
Well, actually I haven’t found it
It is hard to find
But basically he asked me one night like everything was great and he asked me and was like will you give me your word?
That if something comes up
Where you no longer want to like pursue things romantically and get to know each other like that
Just tell me and I said yes, like I’ll give you my word that if something comes up
I’ll tell you but I don’t see anything right now and we both expressed how much we liked each other and everything was so
Like literally fucking perfect, but I did give him my word that if something came up
I would tell him and then something came up
So one night we were talking he asked me if there was anything he needed to be concerned about
Dealing with me in a romantic way and I said the only real like concern that I have not that you need to be concerned
About anything, but the only thing going on with me
I was just honest about the way that I was feeling was typically my type is masculine guys
But I’m starting to question if that really even matters because of like the way I feel toward you
So like the only thing I would think is like once all the excitement wears off and the whole like overwhelming feelings thing
Settles down and we get more logical. Is that gonna come back up?
I don’t know but I will keep you posted and like tell you as I find out because I wasn’t fully
100% set and like okay. I like masculine guys
Because of how strong the feelings were it made me question it
But after we talked about it, everything was fine
Like the whole thing of like me becoming aware of shit didn’t set in till a couple days later
So I was still happy as could be love talking to him and like hanging down and like FaceTime
It was so cute after a few days my concern started to set in
About the masculinity thing because the whirlwind of emotions was calming down and like I was on a high
From going to LA and like everything that fucking happened literally life-changing
Then meeting him was a high and it was like all these huge emotions were like so up in the air and so much was
Going on in LA. I didn’t have time to process shit
so when I got back home and I finally could like check in with myself and like
for a second and like sort through what I was feeling and thinking my logical side kicked back in and
that’s when the masculinity concern came back up and I was like
Fuck like Leo like I really think you do prefer
Masculine guys and that preference isn’t wrong or bad. Like it’s just a preference of mine and it’s a desire of mine
It’s what I’m attracted to
I can’t fucking control what I’m attracted to and what I’m not because if I could I would I wouldn’t like men
but basically after sitting down and
Thinking and like assessing the way that I’m feeling like a separate from everything else what I like what I desire is
Masculinity and a guy if I’m gonna date you
So once I was certain and all that awareness hit me in the fucking head
I was just like god damn it because everything is so fucking difficult when you’re aware like when you are more aware
Everything seems more difficult because you have so much more to take into consideration
You’re aware of all of the parts of like the moving piece not just like your part
but once I knew masculinity was a non-negotiable for me a
big sense of doom and
guilt set in because I knew I’d have to end it and
I really didn’t fucking want to because like I said
It felt so good and all of the emotional feelings and the mental things were still there
It was just a matter of like a physical hang-up where I wasn’t really gonna be attracted
To him physically, but like everything else was connected and there and it was the weirdest kind of like mindfuck
where nothing had gone wrong and nothing was like
Bad and I still felt such strong feelings for him
It was just a matter of my new awareness and what I was gonna choose to do because of it
But the doom feeling and the feeling of like dread was like fuck if I do decide to end things
I’m gonna have to like cut off all these good feelings that I have now like having someone to talk to and all the romantic
shit that I talked about that I missed so much this all made me realize how much I missed it and
Now I was like potentially gonna have to get rid of it and like cut all that off that fucking sucks
And it’s not that going back to being single and like not entertaining anyone is bad
I like that because I’m busy but
This whole situation made me aware of a lot of voids
I didn’t know that I had and things that I would like to experience
So it’s like okay, I had this fucking void come to my awareness
full and
Then I have a new awareness that makes me want to change the situation and now I have this fucking void
I didn’t know that I had and I’m about to have to fucking empty it. Ah
Ah
So here was my thought process around coming to the decision around ending things or just continuing forward so
Basically, I asked myself. How long are you gonna be selfish now that you know, this person is not someone you would ever like fully date
How long you gonna be selfish because to keep going forward? Yeah, you get all these positive emotions
You get to feel all these things you get to have the safety of knowing it’s gonna end so you don’t get too attached
You’re gonna have this person getting attached to you and it’s gonna feel good for you
But you feeling good is at the expense of them. So how long you gonna be selfish?
how long you gonna allow this to go on because now I’m a fucking piece of shit if I let it go on too long and
When you truly care about other people a lot of people have a fucked up version of love and caring about someone
When you truly care for someone you cannot feel joy at their expense
If you know the person you care about is gonna be hurt or is hurt you cannot feel joy at the same time
That’s a giant disconnect
There has to be so much
Disconnected in between you for you to be on such different pages if you truly care about someone you hold the way that they feel
Right next to how you feel. So if something’s fucking with them, it’s fucking with you. So there’s not gonna be any you feel good
They feel bad when you truly care. So, you know, I always overthink things and I read too much into shit
this is where I
Read into the situation and got very clear about the reality of it because your decision you need to make becomes very clear when you
Face the fucking truth of it because in this situation what was truly gonna happen was I could choose to make myself
be okay with him, even though it doesn’t fit my standards and make him enough and
live with that and that means neglecting the desire that I have and living with that or
I can choose to cut it off and then deal with all of the painful emotions that are gonna come from losing all of this
Both sides are painful
Which pain that I want to choose and that is something you need to fucking get about making any decision
There is pain on both sides. You’re just not seeing one of them
So that’s when you feel like torn is you don’t see like the truth of each side
So when I looked at it like that
I was like fuck because it put me in a position of choose him or choose myself
I could choose to honor my desire and honor the part of me that is attracted to masculine men or I can
Discard it and go for him. It became a me or him situation and I will never fucking pick someone over myself again
Everyone can eat shit me and little Leo come first
I talk about myself like multiple parts because I fucking am me my little protector aspect. That’s another one
No one will come between us because anyone I’ve let come between me and myself and all the parts of me has
Fucking ruined everything and fucked all of us up. So I’ve got me and all my little parts and
No one’s getting in the way of that. I’ve made a commitment to myself a long time ago
I will never choose someone else over myself again, and that’s fucking standing until my day
I die unless I have a kid then they come first, but this is a point
I really want to fucking drive home when you become aware of shit like this and a decision
It becomes very very clear what decision you have to make
so I knew at this point like I knew I had to cut it off because for me to
neglect my desire and not take myself into consideration and choose him and force myself to be okay with it and
Have that void in me for the rest of my life is living out of alignment with myself and what I desire
like you’re supposed to live in line with your desires and what you want what you value and
For me to neglect part of myself is living out of alignment for authenticity and that is one of my biggest commitments for this fucking life
So after all that I knew I had to fucking cut it off and was it fucking hard bitch
Yes, and with realizing all this it put me in a whole different reality how before I was like
Oh, I might have to cut it off now
I knew I did have to cut it off because I faced the reality of the entire situation and it put me in a whole
New one my relationship with myself was on the line
My character and my values were being tested was I gonna act in line with them or not?
And you best believe I fucking did so I knew I had to call him and if I was in person
I would have done it in person because I would have given him a hug so that he knew
How much I did care and can feel it. You know what I mean, but I couldn’t so I would had to FaceTime and
I was so fucking anxious for the call and I knew what I had to do and I felt so bad because I knew I
Was gonna hurt him but lying was not an option. I don’t do that
I had to be very straight up and honest
Like I said authenticity you got to be fucking real you got to tell the truth
Even when it fucking hurts you or them and this situation it was gonna hurt both of us
Like I said, I’m gonna have to literally get rid of all these great things
I’ve just experienced and like the feelings that I didn’t know that I missed but also I was gonna have to hurt him
It was a double-edged fucking sword. But when my relationship with myself was on the line, I’m fine throwing it
We’ll both get cut and one thing about me is when I start feeling anxious
I’ll just do what the fuck I need to do
So I was so anxious for this call and I was like, oh I call my mom. I call my sister
I called like all my friends and was like, oh I have to do it and they were like
Yeah, you have to fucking do it
like this is who you are like act in line with it and I was like I’m going to I just don’t want to
So I was like, alright, I’m gonna call him tonight and it was like 3 p.m
And like as the day was going on, I was just more and more anxious about it
So I was like fuck it just call him now
So I text him asked if he was free and called him immediately was I ready?
No, was I fucking wanting to have this conversation?
No
but I just did it instead of waiting like instead of forcing myself to deal with that anxiety and like the all day long I
Wanted to like relieve myself from it. So I just faced the fucking challenge up front
Okay
Let’s just get it over with and one thing is he was having a good day
Like when he answered the phone he was having such a good day and I felt so bad because I was like fuck I have
To ruin it
But basically I told him
straight up and honestly
What was going on what I felt and what it meant like it’s not gonna go forward anymore
In a romantic way and I was very honest like just genuine and honest
I was sure I didn’t sugarcoat shit
But I said things in a way where he knew it wasn’t about him and nothing’s wrong with him for being this way
It’s just my preference. You know what I mean?
Like you have to be considerate and I wanted to make sure
He didn’t start beating himself up and I wanted to make sure anything he was thinking I could clear it up
Before he made an assumption or like a judgment that would hurt himself and then run with it
Like I wanted to prevent him from turning the knife at himself for like not being good enough XYZ
I don’t fucking like that shit
So we had a really good conversation and he handled it very well and he appreciated the honesty
But I didn’t ghost him and I didn’t lie and make up some excuse and I’m gonna tell you why
First with ghosting if you just like remove yourself out of someone’s life
It’s gonna fuck them up bad
and like I said
You can’t do something to someone if you truly care about them knowing it’s gonna hurt them and walk away being fine
so to go someone
Gives you no closure
It gives you no explanation and someone’s brain is just gonna run fucking free trying to find
all of the reasons why it could have ended or what happened or what was wrong and
If you are insecure your brains automatically gonna jump to all of your insecurities ghosting someone literally traps them in like
Hell their own personal hell of questioning over evaluating over analyzing and it will run your brain fucking stupid
so I didn’t want to do that to him and
then to lie to him and make some kind of excuse for like why we couldn’t be together or
why I wasn’t looking for a relationship or any bullshit like that is it would do kind of the same thing of like leaving him
wondering and
Attacking himself like why he wasn’t good enough or like if I was good enough
Leo would make time for me. So for me to just go about oh, I’m not ready for a relationship
That’s an excuse because if someone’s good enough and they value you enough
they’ll make time for you and I preach that shit and I stand on that shit, so I
Wasn’t gonna just say that because he would have been like, oh I was enough
but I wasn’t good enough to date like I wasn’t worth putting the effort into and I didn’t want him to have that because that
sends you on the scavenger hunt of oh
What’s wrong with me? Why wasn’t I enough?
Why didn’t he like me that much and I also reassured him that this conversation was very hard for me to have and I didn’t
want to end things and I didn’t want to like
Lose the connection that we had because it felt so fucking good and like the same way he felt I felt and I reassured him
About I was like you’re not the only one hurt by this and it fucking pains me to say it
then I don’t want to do this, but I have to look out for you and
I don’t
Want to hurt you more than I have to like for me to tell him as soon as I became aware of it
Would hurt him a little bit
But for me to just go months down the line and let him get more and more attached and us keep
Like being a thing and like I’m over here kind of like detached because I know it’s not gonna go everywhere
But he’s getting attached. I’d have to fucking crush him in the future
so the quicker I could get it out was sparing him and
Me because you do get invested no matter how like long things go
but I made it very clear that my decision was like to look out for both of us and
Especially him and it caused me a lot of discomfort and a lot of pain to even fucking say this and do this
But like but I made it very clear
It was in both of our best interests and he really appreciated it
But honestly when you’re trying to make a decision about something when you look at the true reality of the situation
it makes it a lot less enjoyable because I was so blind with all of my good feelings and all this shit and I was
Just able to like freely just blindly run into it and feel all these good things
But when I truly sat down and looked at the reality of the situation how I’m getting enjoyment
But he’s on the line like his feelings are at the expense of me feeling good when you see that
It becomes a lot less enjoyable. You can’t just blindly just go and like feel good and be a happy dick
You’re a fucking dick if you go along with it, but you have to wake up
that’s why like
Looking into shit and reflecting is so important and going forward with all the new awareness that I had of him being at the expense
For me to just keep it to myself and talk to him like normal. It’s no longer gonna feel good to talk
It’s no longer gonna feel good to have him in my life
Knowing this shit in the back of my head because it comes with guilt like the longer I go along
I knew I was gonna hurt him worse. So even for me to just continue talking again, like nothing happened
He didn’t know what was going on in my head
But a relationship is a commitment to communicate speak the fuck up
Don’t get in one if you’re not ready to communicate
Even if it’s what’s going on inside you your partner deserves to fucking know because for them to get romantically involved with you
You’re both on the line
But I couldn’t have just kept talking to him without feeling guilt without feeling like shit and I didn’t want to have to deal
With that, but that’s where I said
I shifted into a whole new reality once I became aware of all this my life before where I was blind and happy was gone
Once I became aware of like my true desire
I was like fuck and like switched me into a new reality where I’m like
Shit, you know, there was no going back
There was no going back to what we had and how things were like once that awareness is there
It’s there and that’s why I always say awareness is a fucking curse
It’s a bitch, but it’s a blessing but it’s just hard to see it sometimes
But it’s really easy to try and just focus on the good times
and if someone is not aware, they’re gonna try and like focus on the good times and focus on how it felt when we were
first together and
Discard the fact that like you’re not into them physically for like the masculinity aspect
They’re just gonna try and jump back and think oh if I just don’t tell them I can keep having this
You’re checked out of the way that you feel if you can do that
but basically I had to accept the new position I was in and
Base my decisions off of that not what could have been and not what we did have
It’s like I had to get square in the reality of right now
Once I realized this desire of mine is not one that’s negotiable
It put me in a whole new standpoint and you have to make your decision based off of that reality
Not a past one not how good things were not what it could be
Not how can I talk myself out of this desire and make myself just accept him and like him?
How can I neglect myself to go forward?
Don’t waste time doing that shit when you want something you can’t not want it
There’s no way around it. Your desire is your desire for a fucking reason. You can’t get rid of it
You can meet it in certain other ways
But you can’t unwant something and it’s just gonna cause you more and more pain if you go against it
So the only option you have if you truly want to have a good life and be happy is to follow that shit
So I have one more thing to say and then I’m gonna tell you how I comforted myself through this situation
Cuz I boohoo’d like a bitch
Flip the roles if you don’t know what decision to make right now or you don’t know what to do about something
Flip the roles. How would you want someone to handle you if you were in the opposite position?
so like if he became aware that
He only likes feminine guys and doesn’t like masculine guys or he doesn’t like guys who are six foot seven my big ass
He’s like, oh I like guys who are short
what I want him to make some excuse and
Lie to me so it saved my feelings or what I want him to ghost me
No, and when you make up a lie to try and save someone feelings you actually hurt them worse
Like I said, you send them on that goose chase of like trying to figure out why they’re not good enough
What I appreciate if homeboy would have just came to me and said I like shorter guys
I would get it like I would fully appreciate that way more. So that’s another way
I knew I’d like needed to make that decision
I knew I needed to do it, but that’s just a good way to know how to handle something is flip it
How would you want to handle it if you were on the receiving end? So the night that I ended things
When I got off the phone, I felt relieved that I handled the situation, right?
But it lasted like a few hours of like feeling okay
and then at night I got very very sad because that was the time that I typically would like talk to him for four hours and
A big thing people don’t realize about relationships or dealing with someone romantically or anything like that
You get in a routine of talking to someone and having that person in a certain spot in your life
And when they’re out of it, you’re still used to that routine
So it’s just gonna take you a minute of building a new routine and adjusting to their absence
Before it becomes okay
It’s gonna be uncomfortable for a minute
But as soon as you get out of the habit of talking to someone and living with someone and interacting with someone
You don’t really think about him that much you’re gonna think about him a lot until you break that
but that time came where I usually would call him and I just got super fucking sad and
So I tapped into the shit
I put on some sad ass music put on some Ethel Cain and I just fucking like laid on the couch and I was like
Leo you’re not crying over this but I was just sitting there and I was running through everything in my head and I knew I
Handled it, right
but I still had the feeling of like loss because I did just lose something that I valued a lot and the thing that sent
me over the edge and made me start fucking bawling was
that I hurt him and
I knew I had to and it was just part of it
but I still just felt so bad that I had to hurt this person because they were very good to me like everything was great
And I saw so much value in them and I’m like to have to hurt them
I felt so bad about it
But like I always say when you are emotional and you’re upset do not fucking act do not act do not do shit
Don’t reach out to them. Don’t talk to them
Don’t fucking post on social media lay your ass on the couch and fucking cry put on some music put it up louder and fucking
Cry do not act when you’re highly emotional because you’re not rational how’d I would have text him?
It would have made shit just way worse. I had to just get myself through this wave of heavy-ass sadness
And the more you do this the more you’ll get better at comforting yourself
So like I was literally just sitting on the couch and I was just like
Thinking like I’m so sorry
that I fucking hurt you and I was having to talk to myself and comfort myself and
Tell myself it was okay
And I was like, I’m just feel so fucking bad and I was like talking to myself like I know like I know
I’m sorry and like being there for yourself will change
Everything for you as soon as you can kind of like do the two points of perspective and comfort yourself
Shit everything changes and I literally like just fucking boo-hooed and cried and was sad and I felt
Through it. I didn’t try to get away from it. I just felt it all
I let myself just fucking cry it out and get these feelings out. Just let that energy just purge itself and then I
Felt better and I got up and I had a little snack and then I did some work and then I went to bed
and I haven’t cried about it again because I felt it fully and
I’m so relieved and so happy with how I handle that situation like looking back now
I know it was hard and while I was going through it, it was so fucking difficult, but I do not regret it at all
I know I hurt him
But it was a matter of hurt him a little or crush him in the future and I’d rather just like take
The little I’ll just hurt you a little like I’m fucking sorry
But my confidence in myself has boosted to like all my morals all my character traits
Everything that I value still stands because I acted in line with it
Had I gone against it, I’d feel like dogshit and I would be so worried
But now I get to have no guilt because I handled it, right?
I have no guilt or worry that anyone can go and talk bad about me or talk down on my character
You fucking can’t you could try it. Everybody knows you’re full of fucking shit, and I’m not talking at the person
He don’t even watch my shit, but I’m not talking at them
I’m just saying like anyone who’s gonna try and talk bad about me. Try it, bitch
Try it my character just speaks for itself who I am
the interactions that I have the shit that I do the shit that I say people just get it like I am so
The opposite of what people say about me. Everybody knows to just write it off
but I get that confidence that I always will do what’s right, even if it fucking hurts and
I feel closer to myself like every time I have a situation happen where I’m very emotional and I’m sad and I comfort myself
Like how I said, I talked to myself. I
Feel so much closer to myself and I feel safer with myself and I feel safe that I will do things that are difficult and
I will be there for myself when I go through them to help me get myself through them and I got myself through it and
I’m happy about it. Like I’m so happy with myself. I’m happy with
Everything really I have no doubt. I have no guilt like I completely got to like put this situation to rest
Properly and one thing I want to say is you will never regret looking out for people
so if you make a decision where you look out for someone don’t neglect yourself like look out for yourself, but look out for other
people too if you can find a
Solution or an answer that takes both people into consideration always pick that one
You don’t want to just do what’s best for you
If you hurt someone else and you don’t want to only do what’s best for someone else if it hurts you like you have to
Take you both into consideration, but you will never regret doing that and
one thing I want to say that I learned from
my last relationship and
I just fucking proved bitch. I just fucking proved. I learned don’t do it to me again
Do not wait for someone to fuck up for you to cut things off
If you become aware of something and you no longer want to be in a relationship
Take yourself and show yourself. I’m getting the chills like I look like a plucked fucking chicken
Take yourself and show yourself
You do not need to be hurt for me to do what’s best for you
You do not need to have someone hurt you for me to value the way that you feel if you no longer want to be
in this relationship
Nothing has to happen for you to feel justified the way you feel is enough to be taken into consideration
And I will take you into consideration because with past relationships
I would wait like I would come to the conclusion
I want to get the fuck out and then I would just sit there and I would wait for you to do one last
straw and I was out and
Do not do that do not fucking do that
It damages your relationship with yourself and it will completely fuck up the way that relationship ends because it’s gonna be something small
So if you’ve been like tolerating shit, and it’s just building you’re like one more thing and I’m fucking done with you
Typically, it’s an overreaction and you’re jumping on to that one thing that they do wrong
So you look fucking crazy had you communicated the way that you actually felt?
The person wouldn’t feel so blindsided and that’s one thing that’s really important like don’t force yourself to be hurt to feel justified
to leave you’re allowed to leave just because you don’t want it and
Because you don’t feel fulfilled or you don’t feel happy or you don’t feel respected or you don’t feel pretty and especially if you don’t feel
Appreciated you’re allowed to leave
You fully are allowed to leave just communicate it and talk about it and leave right?
Don’t wait for someone to fucking hurt you to leave
I proved that I won’t do that
So stop sending me situations like this, bitch
But that’s one really big point
I want to bring up because the way that I feel right now is so much better than how I feel when
You do get that one last straw and you get to end it off that like that
The justification through anger of someone doing something to you. You’re like, yeah now I’m done with you. Fuck you
I’ll cut all ties that only lasts so long the anger will only make you feel justified for so long
But when you come to a logical decision and act based off of that
You never have to think back you you properly deal with the situation
It’s not like you just throw a band-aid on a fucking stab wound and be like, oh like it’s done
No, that’s what that is when you wait for that last straw and then cut it off for that
That’s not the right way to handle it. I’ve learned
So just take yourself into consideration
Show yourself you care about the way that you feel and you will not stay somewhere or with someone that you don’t want to be
With do not neglect yourself
for anyone and
