Here is a sporadic gentle reminder not to reopen doors for ex friends, ex lovers/love interests, ex anyone
People are no longer in your life for a reason
Learn your growth is only possible by moving forward
reminder
“You cannot use someone else’s fire; you can only use your own. And in order to do that, you must first be willing to believe you have it.”
— Audre Lorde

Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Kelly and Jessie sit next to each other. Jessie looks off in the distance in contemplation. Kelly faces the camera with a look of determination (interpretation of scene my own). The caption reads, “I will not have my life narrowed.”
just because it still makes you cry doesn’t mean you aren’t moving on
Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
being openly #unimpressed by men is some of the most fun you can have for free. they don’t know what to do when you won’t let them have the power!
If you have to keep guessing where you stand with someone, move on. Not knowing is knowing.
