Relationship Goals

by Christina C. Jones

“I hope you have a great life, gorgeous,”

“We all have flaws, and we all have mess to deal with. But it doesn’t make us worthless, or worth any less.”

I survived something meant to destroy me – I can’t squander this second chance by living a life that is beneath my standing.

When you come to me, you come correct. I demand it. And you should do the same. How different could our world be if we – lovingly – challenged each other to do, and be better, instead of accepting scraps?”

Anybody who has the power to alter how you feel about yourself will absolutely use it. What better hands to wield such a power than your own?”

“But you know what you’ll never regret? Not compromising yourself.”

Experience is only the best teacher if you’re using it to learn what behaviors not to accept, honing your preferences – not using it as an excuse to let the good ones pass you by.”

Let the other person know where you stand, so they can decide for themselves if they want to stand with you.

Sometimes I wanna come home, and be all alone Or be all alone, and come when I get home Or bring you home, watch you come all alone Or come with you, when we’re alone, once we make it home
