my mom once told me, there's a big difference between being liked and being valued. plenty of people will like you, but not many will truly value you. always choose to be valued.

Also, keeping negative feelings inside is also not going to help you work through them..

Thank you to every mother who played both roles in the absence of the father.

"You deserve a healthy love with someone who sees you, hears you, understands you, appreciates you, supports you, and loves you.

Someone who is consistent, communicates clearly, and creates a calm safe space to heal, grow and bloom together. A love you never have to heal from."
