The scariest part of growing up is realizing you possess some of the same flaws that your parents have.

The most powerful thing you can do right now is to be patient while things are unfolding for you.

Your relationship should be your place of peace. It should be the place where all armor comes off, egos are humbled, and transparency reigns supreme.

please remember that in a healthy, adult relationship (romantic or not), you should be able to talk about things that are bothering you. if you are bottling up your emotions and holding it against someone when you haven’t told them what is wrong, you’re not engaging in healthy behaviour. but also, if your friend/significant other makes you feel as though you can’t talk about what bothers you- i.e. has made you feel guilty/gotten extraordinarily angry when things were brought up in the past- they are not engaging in healthy behaviour.
