Wait for the person who wants to FaceTime you every night because they can’t sleep without you. Wait for the person who always asks how your day was and cares about the details. Wait for the person who knows your coffee order by heart. Wait for the person who knows how to love you when you are sad and can make you laugh when you’re angry. Wait for the person who is willing to go for a drive with you at three am. Wait for the person who gets along with your family and asks how your parents are doing. Wait for the person who energizes you, motivates you, goes on adventures with you, and supports you no matter what. Stop chasing people who can’t be bothered to match your effort.

Know your worth

Be sad but get up. You don’t have to shower. You can put on the same clothes you wore yesterday. Nobody will care. The sky is blue, wildflowers are blooming by the side of the road. Strangers have stories to tell. Go for a walk, go for a drive, go to a greenhouse, a bookstore, a movie theater. You can stay in bed but nothing is going to happen there. Sometimes you’ve really just got to get the fuck up.

NOTE TO SELF: You shouldn’t be treated like an option from someone you prioritise. And one more important thing is that you should never allow someone to make you feel unworthy.
