This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say I'm done with the games. It's not complicated—if you say you're going to do something, do it. If you can't do it, say that instead. If you're not sure, be honest about the uncertainty. Just stop pretending and then disappearing or making excuses when it's time to actually show up 💯

I'm realizing more and more that inconsistency is a choice. People who want to be reliable, are. People who want to communicate clearly, do. When someone is constantly flaky or confusing or sending mixed signals, that's not an accident—that's who they are. And I need to stop making excuses for it.

The hardest part is that I want to believe people. I want to take them at their word. But I've learned that I need to watch what people do, not what they say. Actions are the truth. Words are just noise if there's no follow-through 🤷‍♀️

So from now on, I'm paying attention to patterns. One mistake? Okay, we all mess up. Two? Starting to notice. Three? That's not a mistake anymore, that's a pattern, and I'm out. Life is too short to keep giving chances to people who've shown you exactly who they are 🚪

Do you trust people's words or their actions more, and how many chances do you give before walking away?
