“They should change first.”
“They should change first.”
It's the battle cry of the burned-out, the unheard, the over-it-but-still-here. That single thought can plant a seed of resentment so deep, it chokes out connection, kills communication, and replaces intimacy with huge walls. When we wait, we lose our power. When we blame, we complain, we break the trust. And when we refuse to move until they do—we guarantee nothing changes. We paradoxically get more of what we don’t want.
The truth?
Relationships don’t thrive on stalemates—they grow through alignment.
Real change starts with emotional intelligence: understanding your triggers, managing your own thoughts, emotions, and reactions, leading with vulnerability, not defense. Intimacy isn’t a finish line—it’s a reflection of how deeply you’re willing to know yourself and still show up with intention.
If you’re tired of circling the same fights, feeling emotionally abandoned, walking on egg shells, or wondering if your self-worth has an expiration date—it’s time to shift. This isn’t about taking all the blame. It’s about taking your power back. When you become the change, you create the space for connection to spark, lasting trust, and meaningful growth.
