unconditional love is not selfish. it is wanting the best for that person even if at the moment it’s not you.

if you can imagine someone else treating you better than the person you’re currently with, your imagination is telling you something

You have to learn how to say no without you feeling like you’re being mean. Setting boundaries is how you see who does and doesn’t respect you, your time, or your emotional well-being. Anyone who sees your boundaries and thinks your being mean or tries to push that boundaries is not a person you owe your time or attention.

life becomes so beautiful when you just let things unfold, instead of forcing situations to happen and beating yourself up because they didn’t.

the kind of love where you can work through difficulties and growing pains through communication and honesty and conscious effort to change and accept growth. the kind of love where you grow together and you feel completely wrapped up in certainty and safety and soft assurance. this love is healing and all encompassing and fulfilling without eclipsing the self, this love is home

‪Constantly analyze yourself. Figure out why certain things upset you. Question your own motives. Understand your behavior. This creates a pathway for change. Acknowledging why you do the things you do is the first step in shifting out of toxic patterns.‬

At the end of the day, I just have to remember that I could never lose. Because my love is always genuine , even if those on the receiving end don’t reciprocate it, it’s their loss not mine.

the idea of coming home to the love of your life is so soothing and nice I can’t wait to look forward to that

tbh the real advice I’d give to anyone is, do shit alone. go to a museum & go at your own pace & leave the instant you’re done. go somewhere you’ve never been and just wander around, duck into & out of places as it pleases you. linger as long as you’d like.
