#YouDeserveBetter

If you don't miss me, MISS ME.

Never let anyone treat you as less than you deserve. Ever.

You deserve better—don’t forget that.

Watching My Friends Choose the Wrong People

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve watched a friend fall for the wrong person. It’s a frustrating, helpless feeling—like seeing a car heading straight for a crash in slow motion, knowing I can’t grab the wheel. I sit there, behind the scenes, piecing together the warning signs they either don’t see or refuse to acknowledge. I want to step in, to shake them, to make them realise what’s happening before it’s too late. But I know that love has a way of making people blind, and no matter how much I see, they have to see it for themselves.

It always starts the same way. The excitement, the butterflies, the “I think they might be the one” texts. I smile, I listen, I hope—for their sake—that this time will be different. Maybe, just maybe, they’ve finally found someone who will treat them well, love them the way they deserve. But deep down, there’s that familiar gnawing doubt because I’ve seen this pattern before. I tell myself that I could be wrong, that maybe I’m just being protective, but my gut rarely lies. And sure enough, the cracks soon begin to show.

At first, it’s just little things. A comment that doesn’t sit right, but they brush it off. Their partner is a little too intense, a little too quick to get serious, but they call it passion. They make excuses—"they’ve had a rough past," "they just love me so much," "they didn’t mean it like that." And I sit there, watching it unfold, hoping it won’t go the way I fear, but knowing deep down that it probably will.

Then, the red flags start to stack up. Their partner makes little digs, subtle but pointed, chipping away at their confidence. They stop spending as much time with their friends, constantly needing to check in or explain where they are. They start questioning themselves, changing the way they dress, the way they speak, the things they enjoy. And when they do come to me with their doubts, it’s never as simple as “I think this is bad for me.” It’s confusion, guilt, self-doubt. “Maybe I’m overreacting.” “Maybe it’s my fault.” “I know they love me.”

And that’s when the real struggle begins. Because I want to say, “I saw this coming.” I want to point out all the moments I bit my tongue, hoping they’d see it for themselves. But I don’t. Not because I don’t care—quite the opposite. I care too much. I know how fragile these situations can be. If I push too hard, if I say too much, I risk alienating them completely. They’ll feel like I’m attacking their choices, and in response, they’ll defend them even more. I’ve seen it happen before—friends pulling away, isolating themselves, cutting off the people who love them most because they feel like no one understands.

So I tread carefully. I drop hints, ask gentle questions, encourage them to think about how they’re really feeling in this relationship. “Are you happy?” “Do they make you feel good about yourself?” “Do you feel like you can be yourself around them?” I remind them what love is supposed to feel like—not possessive, not controlling, not something that makes you feel like you’re never enough. But it’s a fine line—how far can I go before my concern is seen as interference?

The hardest part is knowing that love makes people blind. It’s like watching someone walk through a fog, convinced they’re heading towards something beautiful, while I can see the cliff edge looming just ahead. And no matter how much I try to steer them away from it, they have to see it for themselves. No one leaves a bad relationship until they’re ready—until they see, with their own eyes, what the rest of us have seen from the start.

I hate the waiting. The moment when it all unravels. When the texts change from excitement to uncertainty, then pain. When they tell me they feel trapped, confused, unappreciated. That they’re crying more than they’re smiling. That they don’t even know who they are anymore. And all I can do is listen, be there, and remind them that they deserve better—even though I already told them that from the start.

And yet, despite everything, I will be there. Every time. No “I told you so,” no judgment. Just open arms, a shoulder to cry on, and a quiet hope that maybe, just maybe, they’ll start to see what I’ve seen all along. Because that’s what friends do. Even when it breaks my heart.

Stop allowing people to make you feel bad for choosing not to tolerate their disrespect anymore. Real maturity is respecting yourself enough to know you deserve better.

Being in a toxic relationship is never worth the "love" you think you have. Sometimes no matter how bad we want things to change unfortunately that's not always the case. No one deserves to be in a relationship where they don't feel safe. Seek out help once you notice signs and run away from that relationship that you know comes with the warning signs. Sometimes there might not even be signs at first but the truth will always come out. No matter what speak out and protect yourself from domestic violence! call the domestic hotline, speak to family, friends reach out and run! YOU DESERVE SOMEONE BETTER, YOU DESERVE BETTER. Never believe in your abuser you are worth so much more than you know. You got this!!

I don't know if you'll see this, but I wish things could have been different. I'm sorry that you're hurting. I'm sorry that I'm the cause of that.

Despite how it may look...what I did was one of the most difficult things I've ever done.

I hope someday we can talk again as at least friends.

Is love what you deserve

Lo siento no puedo regalarle un orgasmo a un extraño. Recogi experiencias horribles y me senti como un experimento del laboratorio.

Senti las manos callosas y arrugadas de hombres viejos tocando mi piel suave, recogiendo la juventud de mis huesos en cada recoveco de mi ser. Me senti obligada a corresponder con mi boca a besos y miembros que resultaron deliciosos.

Me veo siempre envuelta entre el hacer y el deshacer. Me siento perdida entre decisiones y me desaparezco. Pero lo cierto es que hay algo sobre eso que me gusta. La atencion, el deseo, me entretiene la conversacion y el coqueteo.

🌟 Embracing the Courage to Break Free 🌟

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves trapped in toxic relationships that drain our energy and hinder our growth. But deep within us lies an untapped well of courage, waiting to be unleashed. It's the courage to break free, to step away from the toxicity and reclaim our happiness and well-being.

"The courage to break free from a toxic relationship lies in confronting the fear of the unknown as we step into a new chapter, and having the faith to embrace the belief that we deserve so much more."

This quote resonates deeply with me because it encapsulates the essence of what it takes to break the chains that bind us. It's about facing our fears head-on, acknowledging the uncertainty that lies ahead, and having unwavering faith in our own worth.

Breaking free is not easy. It requires strength, determination, and a belief in ourselves that we are deserving of love, respect, and happiness. It's a journey of self-discovery and healing, where we learn to prioritize our own well-being and let go of what no longer serves us.

If you find yourself in a toxic relationship, I want you to know that you're not alone. There is support and love waiting for you on the other side. Surround yourself with people who believe in your strength and who will lift you up when you need it most.

Take a moment today to reflect on your own journey. What toxic relationships do you need to break free from? What fears are holding you back? And most importantly, remember that you have the power within you to create a life filled with love, joy, and authentic connections.

💛Believe in yourself. Embrace your courage. Break free and step into the life you truly deserve.✨

thank you for responding and accepting my apology 🥲

i felt horrible when I saw your blog and how you have been struggling with mistrust with readers. although I wasn’t sure that was due to fiend-type readers, i realized that since your story is popular, people are constantly on you to produce and that’s just so- not right. i saw my contribution to that and just had to let you know that some of us unfortunately only come to see you as what you rly are (human) after we are entranced by your work, and are snapped back to reality 🥲

hello 🤍 i want to apologize on behalf of others like me. i truly love your story to the point of obsession. as a reader new to fanfic, i thoughtlessly became needy for more & did not consider the human behind the story. i wanted to own up to any pressure a reader like me may have placed on you & let you know that, I’m aware now & am correcting myself. take however long you need. we will eagerly be here to receive your magic whenever you are ready to share it with us 🤍 thank you and well wishes

oh this is very extra super kind of you to say and listen to me- a lot of people are discovering fic for the first time ever in the lull between ACOTAR books and don't really know the ins and outs of fic etiquette or how to share their excitement in a way that's not really intimidating for authors. I respect the hell out of anyone who displays humility, we can only grow and become better by facing what we need to work on and I am right there with you in other regards my dear. So thank you for this and I hope you have a magical mystical cleansing wolf moon. And all my love ✨🖤🌙
