I used to send him my location every night before i slept.
Not because he asked.
Just so he knew i was home safe.
He never replied. Not once. No “okay.” No “received.” Nothing.
I just assumed he did not notice.
One night my phone died before i could send it.
I thought nothing of it, because he never acknowledges anyways.
At 1am i woke up to 14 missed calls.
And one text.
“You didn’t send it. I’m outside.”
I opened my door and he was there.
Standing in the dark.
I said “it was just my phone.”
He said “I know. I came anyway.”
Astronaut Victor Glover delivers beautiful Easter message from space, praises God’s creation.
“When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us…”
“You're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos.”
“In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together…”
For a relationship to truly work in real life, you have to accept that you and your partner are two different individuals..shaped by different backgrounds, experiences, and ways of seeing the world…coming together to build one future. That alone requires patience, grace, and deep understanding.
You won’t always think alike, feel the same, or see things from the same perspective—and that’s normal. Differences don’t mean something is wrong; if handled well, they become an opportunity for growth.
In reality, you’ll notice a pattern: you meet someone you’re attracted to, but they lack sense. You find someone who has sense, but they can’t communicate. You meet a good communicator, but they struggle with trust. You find someone who trusts you, but they’re nonchalant. Then the one who isn’t nonchalant may not even have a clear future. It starts to feel like something is always missing.
That’s where understanding the 80/20 rule comes in. If your partner is 80% right for you, chasing the missing 20% in someone else will only lead you in circles. Even if it’s 70/30 or 60/40, the principle still stands…there’s no perfect person anywhere. What matters is that the good clearly outweighs the bad.
At the end of the day, it’s not always about who is right or wrong, but how you handle the moments when things don’t align. Do you listen or just react? Do you seek to understand, or are you only trying to be heard? Do you choose communication over ego?
Healthy love isn’t about perfection or agreeing on everything…it’s about respecting each other enough to work through your differences, protect what you have, and keep choosing each other even when it’s not easy. That’s where real love shows up.
i just saw a TikTok of a girl who saves every bouquet her man gets her, lets the flowers dry out, then puts them in a ziplock with the date he gave them to her so that on their wedding day the flower girls can throw them down the aisle 🥺🥺 talk about a real lover girl!!!
I have a friend who doesn’t tell anyone anything. You won’t know she’s about to move until she has already moved. You won’t know she’s getting a car until she already has one. Even the problems between her and her boyfriend are none of our business.
I used to think she wasn’t being a good friend because she didn’t share her personal life. But now I understand why she doesn’t. It’s nothing personal, she just keeps her business private. And as I get older, I definitely see why.
Guessing you don’t understand that you don’t actually love that person. You’ll understand that after a while with being with who you deserve. You’ll come to understand that it was trauma based and brain chemical addiction that gave the illusion that you loved that person. So of course, it’s going to be painful at first but you’ll be grateful for it later.
Cos the man you love is familiar, he drives you crazy, makes your heart race, gives you mixed feelings that excites you, the type of excitement you liken to love
But the man you deserve will calm you, your nervous system will rest around him. He doesn’t play stupid games, he’s consistent and present, but he won’t excite you, you’ll call him boring. A sad reality
