Any kind of breakup can hurt, even if you are the one doing the breakup. But loss is very much a part of love, because without loss, we cannot understand the extent of how much we can love, heal, and grow. These are important in everyone’s life.

People often think that their partner should value them. And I am not saying that they should not, but I happen to see this from a different perspective. Yes, we should all hold value in those we care for, but the most important value in a relationship is your self-value. I am not talking about being selfish or only thinking about yourself. I am talking about holding yourself as a value. You need to remember that you are someone special, you are the only you on this earth. And when we hold ourselves as having value, then those around us will also see this and hold a certain value on…

“Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.” Mary Tyler Moore Often in life, we praise bravery as a huge amount of strength without fear. Yet this is not the truth about what bravery is. It is not in NOT feeling fear that we are brave, but in the actions we do despite the fear we have. And in love, being brave and fearful go hand in hand. It takes a lot of courage to keep looking when we have been hurt or to stay vulnerable with our partner when we don’t want to, or to…

We all deserve a partner who is loyal and kind. But the best part of having someone on your side is the fun you have with them.
