You arent being unreasonable.
Youre only experiencing what it means to be human.
We take the path of least resistance.
We do what comes easy.
We wont push ourselves past our comfort zones without effort.
We dont jump into the abyss of fear.
Were constantly trying to protect ourselves from the unknown.
Thats why hell have a go at pull a fast one on you if you let him.
Not might, not maybe, but will.
Theres curiosity in seeing what we can get away with.
It might not happen right awayin fact, at first, it might be bliss.
Then old habits come into play.
He defaults to what feels comfortable, to what takes less energy.
It can be calculated or it can be innocent and unintentional.
This is the way our brains work.
Maybe he used to call or text you consistently but doesnt anymore.
Maybe he used to have a go at impress you but no longer makes an effort.
Maybe he used to speak to you kindly but now is impatient and frank.
They take energy; they take work.
Then something inspiring happens, it becomes easier or you develop muscle.
It becomes a habit, not something daunting.
Never be afraid to stand your ground about what you want and are willing to accept.
Hell accept the challenge or he wont.
Recognize these for what they are and stay true to what feels right foryou.
We often venture to subdue peoples emotions instead of realizing theyre allowed to have their outburst.
Our job is to hold steady.
Hold your light steady in the midst of people trying to push your boundaries.
In the midst of people trying to make you feel less than.
In the midst of feeling unconventional.
Hell attempt to pull a fast one on you if you let him.
When it comes, smile and remember this.
Remember that its natural to want to take the path of least resistance.
Remember that its not always intentional, it comes from survival instincts.
It comes from fear.
Stay true to how you want to be treated.
You deserve to be treated with love and respect in case you didnt know.
The people who belong in your life will make room to be there.
