I’m actually pretty sweet

People tend to assume strict means cold.

It doesn’t, at least not for me.

I’m actually a very kind person. Probably softer than people expect. I like making people feel seen. I like being thoughtful. I like affection, attention, little acts of care, and that feeling when someone genuinely wants to make me happy.

The strict part comes in because I don’t think kindness means I should accept inconsistency, laziness, or half-effort.

I can be sweet and still expect you to follow directions.

I can be understanding and still hold you accountable.

I can care about you and still tell you no.

That balance is probably the most honest version of me.

I don’t want someone scared of me.

I want someone who wants to behave for me.
