Marry the man who calls you back after an argument, checks on you to see if you're okay, and makes sure you know he still cares about you. The man who doesn't disappear when things get hard, who chooses fixing over ignoring, who doesn't raise his voice to win, and who tries to understand instead of proving a point. Marry the man who makes you feel safe to speak, safe to feel, safe to be human even during the hard times. That's the kind of love worth choosing every day.
forever an “it’s okay I understand” girl, with tears running down my face.
forever an “I’m sorry” girl, even when I didn’t do anything wrong.
forever a “no it’s fine” girl, even when my heart just dropped to my stomach.
forever a “it wasn’t that important” girl, even when it mattered so much to me.
forever an understanding girl, who is never understood.
I have to marry somebody who takes holidays seriously. A family person. Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries… everything must all be celebrated fully in my household.
if I'm having a tough conversation with you, it's because I want you in my life and want you to tighten up so l can keep you in it. I'm not attacking you.
My biggest fear is caring more than the other person. I know how I love… I’m intentional, I’m present, I’m all in. And I’m scared of giving that to someone who enjoys the benefit of being loved properly but doesn’t actually show up for me in the same way.
This is the hard lesson i learned this year, that no matter how strong the bond is, no matter how long you have known each other, no matter how many things you went through together, no matter how much love you thought was there.
People’s hearts could change in a blink of an eye.
saw a quote on IG that read:
"someday, all the love you've given to the wrong people will find its way back to you in someone who has waited their whole life for your kind of love".
