Patterns tell the truth when words don’t. When someone keeps showing you who they are — through their actions, not their promises — believe them. Trust isn’t about blind hope; it’s about evidence.

👀 How long have you spent hoping they will change? Has it ever happened? Does it bring you any long-lasting peace?
It's okay to stop waiting.
