Just because I say I can, does that mean it's actually happening?

No.

I could say I could do a full twist backflip.

But if you don't see me do it, does it really mean anything?

I need you to remember that.

And this will save you so much time in dating and friendships.

Anyone can say anything.

And yes, have trust, be discernful.

Like I'm not saying don't trust anyone ever again, but if their actions do not align with their words, the actions take the weight.

Do not let the words outweigh the actions.

don't let them treat you like trash and then be like well they said they like me and i know what it's like to so deeply want to believe a person i know what it's like to want to so desperately cling on to the words that they said because that's the only sense of hope that you have that's the only feeling of love that you have and if their actions aren't following of course you're going to hang on to the word because it feels better it feels more promising it makes you feel better about yourself it feels more reassuring

But the actions are what actually matters because how you are treated is so much more important than how much you like someone.

How you are treated is so much more important than the words and the promises that they cannot keep.

If someone says they love you, but they are treating you poorly, I need you to pay attention to the actions.

I need the actions to be your answer.

Anyone can say they will do anything.

They can even say like, I'll be ready to date you like next year.

Girl, please.

And I feel like especially, I hate to go down this road, but in the dating culture we have now, people will act more emotionally available and emotionally inclined than they are.

They'll act more well-intentioned than they actually are in order to get something from you.
