Before we date, I personally think we need to tell each other the truth. Like, I'm damaged, I sometimes wanna spend time alone, I drink/cry to ease the pain, I'm moody, I'm always scared to lose people I love, but I love hard. So we can understand what we're getting into.
People talk a lot about self-love but aren’t actually ready to do what it takes to truly get there. Self-love isn’t just massages, spa days, yoga retreats, & facials. It’s setting firm boundaries, not just with your words, but through your actions. It’s staying away from people that can’t meet your standards, even if it means letting go of someone you really love. It’s holding people accountable for wrong shit they did to you, even when they hate you for it. It’s choosing yourself over keeping toxic people around, even when it gets lonely. It’s a series of hard decisions that may hurt in the moment but you’ll thank yourself for later. That’s self-love & there’s nothing pretty about it.
Often times the universe will bring someone back into your life not because they deserve to be a part of it, but because you’re finally at a place where you can clearly see them for who they are and not the illusion you created.
healing your relationship with your inner child will help you realize that immaturity never leaves you and that's completely okay because you are all the ages you have been at once. you are 5, 15, and 22 in one body.
