My therapist told me:
โWhen a person grows up feeling unseen, they learn to love by over-giving. They pour into everyone else, hoping that, one day, someone will finally pour back into them. So they become the care taker. The fixer. The one who shows up, even when no one shows up for them.โ
And the hardest part? Deep down, they're not trying to be strong. They're just waiting for someone to do for them what they've spent their whole life doing for everyone else.

@masculinejason I love seeing stuff like this!! Really makes me think of my old dating patterns & trends & how unrealistic they were & it really shows what people really want out of a future, perspective life partner. Thanks for putting this out there phrased the way you did
@AnotherHomoCon The acceptance & love that I have for the body I have now, knowing that I don't NEED to change for ANYONE just because someone thinks you should. Those that matter don't mind, those that mind don't matter. If you're happy in the body you're in, the right one will love it too!!
