Change doesn’t happen overnight. Be patient and love yourself enough to give yourself time to grow. Growth takes time. Embrace the process.

Nobody is perfect in a healthy relationship — what makes it “healthy” is each individuals willingness to grow, forgive, communicate and express needs and respect the other. You evolve individually and as a couple.

It’s very easy to give up …but it takes courage to sit down, evaluate, talk things through and actively make actions to do better and be better.

Dear God, Please Protect This Relationship. Let Time Build Us Not Break Us. Let The Love We Have For Each Other Be Stronger Than Anything That Tries To Tear Us Apart. We May Not Be Perfect But Keep Us Perfect For Each Other. Amen.

You ever wish you could tell someone your WHOLE story, so they knew why you were the way you are?

Let me pour my love Into your heart And heal all that is broken

Social media has really glorified the idea that the grass is greener on the other side. It's an illusion. Put in the work and the grass will be greener where you are.

What do you want your story to be? Control your destiny and write your story. Every page is a new day, every chapter is a new year.

"Love someone not because they give you what you need, but because they give you feelings you never thought you needed."

They’ll point out your flaws, but will never say the good things you’ve done.

In authentic friendships there are seasons of giving, and seasons of receiving. And no one keeps score.

Forgive your old self, you've changed.

You have expectations in a relationship. Tell them what they are. Y’all are too old to play games like “I shouldn’t have to tell you! If I’m important then you should know.” Relationships break down for one reason, communication failure. Want something? Fking tell them.

she's been through a lot bro, show her the love she deserves.

“we will figure it out together” is another great way to say i got you. always.

Most people don’t understand relationships take emotional work. They believe the right person will remove discomfort from their life and make them feel good. When they don't, they're resentful. They start looking for the next fantasy person for the role.

being in a healthy relationship taught me that there’s no such thing as “this is who I am, take it or leave it”. when you genuinely love a person, you work on those toxic traits, u learn to communicate, u listen to each other’s feelings and encourage individuality.

The search for "the one" is unrealistic. There is no magic person out there. Love is a practice. It takes intentional effort from both people. Every person has toxic traits, flaws, and annoying habits. We need to mourn the idea of a perfect person.
