Stop putting the man on the pedestal - sit on it YOURSELF.

Aren't you tired of always putting yourself last?

Aren't you tired of making yourself more anxious each year because you are "afraid men won't choose me because I am older"?

Aren't you tired of feeling worthless and ugly because you keep hoping that man will look at you - and he didn't?

Aren't you tired of giving man attention, love, and care - only to be treated like sh*t and kicked to the curb when he found someone else?

Aren't you tired of walking on eggshells and making yourself smaller so that you won't hurt his ego?

Aren't you tired of spending money going halfies with lukewarm dudes that asked you out on a date?

Aren't you tired of being taken advantage of by a man who claims he "loves you, of course I do babe" but treated you worse than dirt?

When will enough be enough?

What's wrong with putting yourself first?

What's wrong with prioritizing yourself and cut off anyone who dare treat you less than?

What's wrong with having standards, boundaries, and preferences?

What's wrong with choosing to be happy instead of "keeping the peace"?

What's wrong with being selfish and self-serving?

What's wrong with de-centering the people who have been hurting you for decades and choose self-love?

What's wrong with being alone?

What's wrong with choosing to be chased and catered rather than exhausting and humiliating yourself chasing and catering to LVMs?

Stop treating men like they are the prize, like they are so damn important -- stop putting them on the pedestal and act like they are so great. They aren't.

Go up there and sit on the pedestal yourself. What's wrong with that?

Stay safe.
