Promises to Myself Regarding Men

I will leave at the first red flag.
I will not second guess my intuition.
I will leave the first time a man makes me cry.
I will not forgive when not asked for forgiveness.
I will leave if I notice a man being emotionally unavailable.
I will not allow someone into my heart just to avoid feeling lonely.
I will not involve myself emotionally with someone with whom it is not logistically reasonable.
I will not assume good intentions if I’ve been hurt by someone, especially when they didn’t claim them.

I recognize the pattern.
This is twice. There will not be a third time.
I honor myself and my instinct. I rise.
I cried today. I will not cry again.
I am a phoenix.
