protect your peace, your privacy, your joy & yourself from anything and anyone that compromises your happiness.
nobody deserves access to you unless they are able to reciprocate the value, kindness and respect you bring to their lives, surround yourself with goodness, only.
if you're in a relationship, you need to understand that both of you were raised differently.
that means you learned to love differently, react differently, and communicate differently.
the most important thing is that, you both respect each others differences, and try to understand where the other person is coming from.
