People argue over who the villain is and completely miss the point. The real tragedy is that every attempt to force love destroys the very thing that makes love meaningful: choice.
There is something insanely romantic about finding the one person on earth whose specific brand of madness mirrors yours. Not just “we like the same films” compatibility, no. We are talking another realm.
Actual nervous system alignment + crazy alignment + skill alignment + willingness to go all the way alignment.
Same danger tolerance + same skill+ same devotion to the plot. AND THEY LOVE U TOO
Some people live 120 years and never touch that kind of aliveness.
Date someone who is curious about you. Not someone who simply finds you attractive or entertaining, but someone who wants to know the person behind the surface. Someone who reads every message twice, remembers the stories you almost forgot to tell, and notices the little things no one else does. Someone who wants to know where your scars came from, what shaped you, what makes you laugh, and what keeps you awake at night. Attraction may draw someone in, but genuine interest is what makes them stay. Find someone who wants to learn every layer of who you are.

After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
once my therapist told me, "one of the the saddest things in the world is to need someone to destroy you before you believe you're allowed to walk away." i dropped this mindset so fast 😩
