It’s natural for the love to feel stale after you’ve been dating someone for years, after you’ve seen their good and bad sides, after you’ve grown comfortable around each other and have stopped trying so hard to make a good impression.
No, you might not have enough cash saved to quit your job on the spot or move across the country on a whim, but you can get creative. You can make tiny changes that will make your world a lot more exciting.
You have to stop thinking about change as the scariest thing in the world — because the thought of never growing is much scarier.
Getting turned down doesn’t mean you’re unattractive, unappealing, unlovable. It means someone didn’t click with you. Or someone didn’t look close enough to see your worth.
You might have ruined our relationship — but you’re not about to ruin my summer.
Your person could be a good partner in some ways but toxic overall. And that’s what makes toxic relationships so difficult to spot in the first place.
Maybe it’s because of my anxiety, maybe it’s because of my fear of change, maybe it’s because of my incessant planning, or maybe it’s because I’m stubborn — but either way, I hate being invited out at the last second. I hate being surprised by spontaneous plans.
Wearing your heart on your sleeve is tough to do in the modern world when everyone expects you to act a certain way, to walk around with a mask, to lie on social media and in person.
Your relationship shouldn’t get in the way of your self-love. Your person should raise your confidence. They should make you feel…
Your jealousy is going to trick you into believing there is something wrong with you, when really, the only thing wrong is your mindset.
