my mom once told me "waiting for someone to act correctly is a disrespect to yourself. you're compromising your worth just because someone can't fully afford it."
i’m telling you. for me, love really is about these gestures. i need that mindfulness. that attentiveness. that person who doesn’t stop doing all the things they originally did to make you smile. i’ll need this bc i’ll definitely do shit like for my partner & reciprocity is nice.
