You deserve a calm love with somebody who's good for your mental health and nervous system. Somebody who brings out your soft side, not your survival side.
Normalize not forcing connections with people. If someone doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don’t try to convince them. Don't waste your energy trying to force something that isn't meant to be.
I once told my therapist, ‘I don’t understand why they did that to me, I’d never do the same to them.’ she said I can’t expect everyone to behave as I would, as they don’t view the world through my lens. they may not ever think to treat me with the same amount of consideration
