HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Don't let the sweet talk walk you to the plank and make you jump off into a friggin canyon with no parachute. π΄π₯ This also means that love is not a house that can be built with words alone. I mean... you could try. But if you're looking for something that delivers on emotional safety, support, shows up when you need it and sometimes when you don't, is interested in and values what you think and who you are, would wipe your ass if you lost your arms, and genuinely wants the best for you? Words will only take you so far. I mean, there are things we only find out about ourselves that are unearthed by a love that goes beyond words and what sounds right. It's messy sometimes, scary sometimes, makes you want to run away sometimes (often for me cause I'm like Forrestπ) but always rewarding... If you put in the work. Sometimes that work means you'll miss out on a good person or few people along the way because you're not ready just yet. That's OK. But you mourn learn grow, and stay grateful for the lessons until great comes along. π And if today is a day that you find depressing because it reminds you of the love you're not experiencing but want so desperately?
