A hopeless romantic,
hopeless in love,
continues to search
the stars above
For the constellation
forged by destiny
to complement the
profound immensity
of their fervent universe.

Let's normalize telling people, 'It seems you don't have the capacity to love me in the ways I want and need, so let's not continue this, and leave it at that.
A healthy relationship will never sound like “this is just who I am, get used to it. If you can't handle it, then walk away”. Real love doesn't accept excuses. It doesn't ignore your triggers or sweep your pain aside. It listens. It understands. It asks hard questions and faces uncomfortable truths. It challenges you to grow, not to change for someone else, but to become the truest, most whole version of yourself. Being with the right person isn't about settling, it's about rising together. It's about inspiration in the quiet moments, encouragement when the world feels heavy and patience when you're still learning, still breaking, still becoming. The right love makes growth feel inevitable. It makes effort feel natural. It makes your heart feel safe, even as it reaches further than it ever has before.
>She’s different. She won’t beg you to stay, chase after you, or convince you to choose her. She learned a long time ago how to stand on her own, so your presence is a choice, never a necessity. She’s soft-hearted but not soft-minded, loving but not naive. She’ll give you loyalty, honesty, and a kind of love that feels like home, but the moment you repay it with deception or betrayal, she’ll walk away without looking back. Not because she doesn’t care, but because she knows her worth. She’s different. Once trust is broken, she doesn’t make excuses for it she simply leaves it behind.
i need a really long hug where i can just bury my face on their shoulder and they hug me tight and there's this mutual feeling of wanting it to last longer and not let go
