@brijaynesspeaker: I have had a rough couple years. I left a long term relationship and transitioned into other connections that helped me reach the point I'm at now. I spent a lot of time alone, revisiting the past in every era of my life. I went through a lot of anxiety, loss and wanting to just be independent while wishing I didn't have to be at times. I met rico in March and that was a mess too. I wasn't sure I was ready for anything and he was still living like a young person does- which didn't work for me. He could sense I was not ready. I said I wasn't too. He came back around recently after my life started to make a little more sense and direction became more clear. I was still apprehensive. I still wanted to stay with what was comfortable. We went out for my birthday and he had done a lot the past few weeks to show me he was serious. I allowed him to show me what he wanted and lead the way as I would let any man that I care about do. He did exactly what he said he would. I can't predict the future but I realized that night this man is quite in love, and I haven't been fair. I also realized I was starting to feel strongly myself, but my emotions kept clouding me. I still had hopes I could hang on to what was, and my distrust can be toxic to what is in my path. I don't know why I'm sharing this, I just think sometimes we don't see the hold our past has on us. Someone that loves you will follow through. It is that simple. I haven't always has that. That is basic respect and men aren't complicated, if they care about you they'll do the work just as you should. ❤️ #relationshipstorytime #relationships #past #fyp #letgo
