There’s no class in school called:
👉 “How to not fall for emotionally unavailable chaos in a leather jacket.”
No one teaches you what healthy love actually looks like.
No one explains what respect feels like in real life.
And definitely no one warns you that…
👉 butterflies in your stomach might actually be anxiety.
So what do we do?
We freestyle.
We date.
We guess.
We romanticize red flags like they’re personality traits.
“He’s just bad at texting…”
“He’s complicated…”
“We just have a deep connection…”
No babe.
You have a deep pattern.
💔 Broken Meets Broken (And Calls It Love)
If you grew up like me…
Giving love.
Fixing people.
Holding space.
Being the strong one.
Delivering rainbows to everyone else…
👉 while slowly disappearing yourself?
Then yeah…
You don’t just attract love.
👉 You attract projects.
Not because you’re weak.
But because you’re familiar with survival mode.
You know how to:
- navigate chaos
- read emotional shifts
- stay when things get hard
But just because you’re good at surviving something…
👉 doesn’t mean you’re meant to stay in it.
🪞 My Turning Point — From Ghost to Glow-Up
At 45…
I didn’t recognize myself.
30 kilos heavier.
Emotionally drained.
Avoiding mirrors… not because I didn’t care, but because I cared too much.
I had spent years:
✨ showing up
✨ creating magic
✨ holding everything together
Except… me.
And the men I attracted?
Reflected that.
- unavailable
- inconsistent
- emotionally confusing
And I stayed.
Because I thought that’s what love looked like.
🚩 What a Toxic Relationship REALLY Is
Let’s clear something up:
👉 A toxic relationship is NOT “we just love each other so much it’s intense.”
It’s when:
👉 Love is prioritized over respect, trust, and affection.
And that’s where everything gets distorted.
Because love alone will have you:
- staying too long
- forgiving too much
- explaining away behavior that should’ve been a dealbreaker
💔 Love Without Respect
You shrink yourself.
🔍 Love Without Trust
You become a detective.
🥶 Love Without Affection
You feel alone… in a relationship.
And suddenly you realize:
👉 You’re starving… next to someone.
🚨 6 Toxic Patterns We Normalize (But Shouldn’t)
Let’s call it out.
Because awareness is the first glow-up.
🧾 Keeping Score Instead of Solving
You’re not in love.
You’re in a courtroom.
🫠 Passive-Aggressive Communication
If you can’t say it…
you’re not ready for healthy love.
💣 Threatening the Relationship
Every argument doesn’t need a breakup trailer.
🎭 Blaming Them for Your Emotions
They’re your partner—not your emotional life support system.
🔍 Jealousy = Love (Nope)
That’s insecurity with a romantic filter.
💸 Buying Away Problems
You can’t heal a relationship with distractions.
Only with truth.
🧠 Why We Stay (Even When We Know Better)
Let’s be real.
You don’t stay because you’re weak.
You stay because:
👉 the familiar feels safer than the unknown
You’re afraid to start over.
You don’t fully trust yourself yet.
You confuse chaos with chemistry.
You think “this is as good as it gets.”
And the biggest one?
👉 You think if you love harder… it will work.
But here’s the truth:
👉 You can’t love someone into becoming who you need.
And the more you try?
The more you lose yourself.
💍 The Shift — Married to My Selfie
Everything changed when I made one decision:
👉 I am married to my selfie.
Not in a “I don’t need anyone” way.
But in a:
💥 I don’t abandon myself anymore way.
That means:
- I don’t chase confusion
- I don’t tolerate inconsistency
- I don’t audition for love
I choose:
✨ clarity
✨ respect
✨ emotional safety
And suddenly?
My standards changed.
My energy changed.
What I entertained?
Changed.
Because I stopped asking:
👉 “Do they choose me?”
And started asking:
👉 “Do I choose this?”
🔥 The Truth No One Wants to Hear
You will keep attracting the same type…
👉 until you become unavailable for that pattern.
Not unavailable for love.
Unavailable for:
- inconsistency
- emotional unavailability
- mixed signals
Because it’s not just about what you attract.
👉 It’s about what you accept.
And once you stop accepting less?
Everything shifts.
🦄 Final Thought — This Is Your Wake-Up Call
You are not too much.
You are not hard to love.
You are not asking for too much.
You were just giving yourself…
👉 to people who couldn’t meet you.
But that ends now.
Because the real glow-up?
Is not finding someone better.
👉 It’s becoming someone who no longer tolerates less.
💍 Married to your selfie.
Chosen.
By you.
As Always Extra RainbOH!w Sparkles & Good Vibes OH!nly ✨🦄💦🌈
