why you here?

Maturing is realizing that the best reassurance you can give your person in a relationship comes through conversation. When you're going through tough times, shutting down or going quiet only makes them feel unsure. But when you choose to talk things through and work it out together, it helps them feel safe, seen, and wanted.

Wisdom to make sure I never lose all these due to funny things

[𝘼𝙗𝙙𝙪𝙡🥷🏾 @abdulgoncrazy]

Relationships are so beautiful when you and your partner are actually good friends. You show up together, share inside jokes, talk openly, have fun, and totally vibe like besties. They shouldn’t replace your actual friends but it’s so amazing when the dynamic isn't just romantic.

you can’t teach this. it’s either in you or it’s not!!!

for me, it was a realisation.

i had already survived every man i was convinced i wouldn’t survive. every relationship that felt like my entire world, i got through it. i was fine.

then i built my world around someone new, and that ended too, and i was fine again.

and eventually something clicked like, there will always be another man willing to become my whole world if i let him. which means the scarcity i kept feeling was never real. i manufactured it every time by treating each one like he was the last.

so i realised, you don’t decenter men by deciding they’re not worth it. you decenter them the moment you realise you were always going to be okay without them. and that’s the point i reached.

If a girl posts her man & you go follow him, you're a weirdo. No way around it

Me dissociating in the middle of a conversation

[𝘼𝙗𝙙𝙪𝙡🥷🏾 @abdulgoncrazy]

Being in a healthy relationship really taught me there's no such thing as 'that's just the way I am'. When you truly love someone you work on those toxic traits, you learn to communicate, you actively listen to each others thoughts & feelings – you adjust, grow & heal together.

[໊ @xoeeie]

this here is the hardest thing to find, because we usually expect to be accepted, but are you willing to accept someone? someone with flaws? with mistakes? with pains?

maturity is realizing that love is companionship, and that goes way beyond the romantic.

[Asma @Elaa_ampe5]

Your SPOUSE is the one who'll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. who'll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if you're ever too sick to stand. this isn't just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. it's about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isn't enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE life's ugly parts... that's what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE won't carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when it's HARD TO LOVE.

The older I get, the more I reach the conclusion that most problems within any relationship can be resolved with emotional intelligence and good communication, only if both parties have the same intention: to find solutions.

[Biri♛ @numeroun0_]

& that i’m okay with.

[​𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐚 @sunnkssdseraph]

all relationships can survive mistakes, but they cannot survive patterns. Repeated behavior isn't a mistake, it's a decision, apologies lose meaning when the actions never change

[Sheila @SheilaLMaina]

As you get older you realise that first red flag that you ignored will be the reason you break up 2 years later.

And you will regret not walking away that first time.

[Wow, He’s Tsonga! @_aboihasnoname]

It’s very important to decide to be happy the moment you wake up, do not dwell into things you have no control over.
