Marry the man who calls you back after an argument, checks on you to see if you're okay, and makes sure you know he still cares about you. The man who doesn't disappear when things get hard, who chooses fixing over ignoring, who doesn't raise his voice to win, and who tries to understand instead of proving a point. Marry the man who makes you feel safe to speak, safe to feel, safe to be human even during the hard times. That's the kind of love worth choosing every day.
romanticize your life, take pretty pictures, feel like the main character, light up a candle, read books, go for a walk, dance to your favorite music, buy yourself presents, do whatever you want, be happy - this is your life, don't let anyone take it from you
