A man who loves you will naturally wanna feed you, call you, take you out, bring flowers, and put in effort. No excuses. You shouldn’t have to teach or beg for that.
Your self-respect has to be stronger than your desire to feel loved. Never accept disrespect, inconsistency, or less than you deserve just because you’re afraid of losing someone. Being loved means nothing if you have to lose yourself to keep it.
girls.... pleaseeeee pick the gentle one. the kind one. the one who brings you peace. the protective one. the one who is sure of you. the one who respects you. the one who understands your silence.
I always try and give people the benefit of the doubt when I should’ve went with my first mind. People really take my kindness for weakness when I have a whole pit bull inside my body with no emotions.
"Find a man who's clingier than you, who kisses you even when you're mad. A man unafraid to show how deeply he loves you. One who treats you like his princess, stays loyal even from miles away, and takes care of you when life gets hard. A man who can still make you laugh and smile, even on the days you don't feel like it."
If love ever finds me again, I hope it brings me someone who loves me with the same depth I love with. Someone who would never be comfortable knowing they’ve hurt me. Someone loyal, gentle, intentional, and devoted. Someone who never makes me question whether I’m wanted. Someone who feels like home and somehow feels at home with me too.
I'm a lover girl, I love intimacy. I love romance. I love cute notes. I love quality time. I love giving presents. I love romantic gestures. I love small and thoughtful gifts. I love date nights. I love long, deep conversations. I love being silly together. I love hugs, holding hands. I love making memories. I love feeling secure. I love acts of service. I love reciprocating. I love love.
No matter how hard things get, I will NEVER let anyone convince me I'm crazy, unhealthy, or insecure for having a NORMAL reaction to their HURTFUL behavior.
NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE FUCKING HEAVINESS OF BECOMING A WOMAN AND REALIZING ALL THE THINGS YOUR MOTHER WAS SUPPOSED TO TEACH YOU THAT SHE SIMPLY.. DIDN’T.
