Healing is when you become harder to fool & easier to love. And maturing is realising you’re not just picking a partner. You’re picking how safe it’ll feel later. You’re choosing the soil from which your next seasons of self esteem will grow… or rot.
I heard a girl saying "If she has to ask for flowers she doesn't want them anymore" but that really goes for everything wether it be love, attention or appreciation, bc it's no longer coming from you it's coming from me. Every woman's love language is not having to ask for !!
