No one is hotter than someone who longs for your soul more than your body.

The fire cannot burn me for I’ve walked through it and burned too many times. My scars protect me. The ocean cannot drown me, for I’ve been underwater grasping for air my entire life. But love, the most elusive demon I’ve chased, that will rip my heart out and destroy me, for I have never known true love before.

Having an emotionally mature partner is TOP TIER. You're able to express yourself freely and openly. They don’t insult you. They don't give you the silent treatment. They don't become aggressive or manipulative. They listen, they respond—they patiently hold a safe space for you.

Maturity is when you realize people can't give you what they can't give themselves, so you stop expecting loyalty from people who betray themselves, stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves, and stop expecting peace from people who are at war with themselves.

Normalize not forcing connections. If someone doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don't try to convince them.

The betrayal i felt when all i did is treat them right and understand no matter what the situation is for them to have an audacity to ignore and hurt me constantly.
