“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.”

Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three.

You deserve a healthy love with someone who hears you, sees you, understands you, appreciates you, supports you, and loves you. Someone who is patient, communicates clearly, and creates a calm safe space to heal, grow, and bloom together. A love you don't have to heal from.

The older you get, the more you choose calmness over drama and distance over disrespect. You prioritize your peace, mental health, and happiness - over everything.

‘94 baby right here. Yknow I grew up in the generation where as kids it wasn’t phones & technology. It was playgrounds, sleepovers, camping, pool parties, toys, playing outside till the street lights came on. Waiting for a specific time at night or morning for my favorite kid show to come on. Old game systems that was not online; your friends had to come over to play with you. Not being glued to a screen all day as entertainment. Not checking texts, fb, snapchats, gossiping in group chats. I knew of passing notes in class or mailing letters or calling the house phone. Email was a thing too. 😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️🥰
