i don’t think ppl really sit & think about the gravity of romantic relationships before choosing to be in them.
this shit ain’t trivial. love isn’t something you play with. it really is a garden. it’s intricate intentionality and care. you have to know what you need/can give.
“Communication is key” but so is having a sense of understanding. If I tell you something and you’re not willing to see where I’m coming from, then what’s the point of telling you anything.
Honestly, if you can marry an old wrinkly man and not scream when you feel them cold bony hands creeping on you in the night.. you deserve the money idk.
It's raw af seeing yourself become a new person, focused on your own goals, not repeating the same cycles, outgrowing stagnant situations, not putting up with nobody's sh't, it feels so good
