I think love is consideration. It's thinking about how your actions will affect someone before you make them. It's remembering that there's a real person on the other side of your choices.
i heard someone say people who can’t communicate think everything is an argument. and people who lack accountability think everything is an attack. and i can’t unhear that.
i’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won't change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds. sometimes it’s better to just let things be
I think we underestimate how important it is to choose a partner whose lifestyle is compatible with yours. Love matters, attraction matters, chemistry matters. But eventually you’re sharing mornings, weekends, money, habits, families, stress, health, responsibilities and thousands of ordinary decisions. You’re not only choosing a person. You’re choosing a way of living.
