Love yourself first. Be whole first before sharing your life with somebody. Coz if you don’t, you will always look for people that you think can make you complete & in the end, will make you lose yourself more. Bit by bit; piece by piece.
Sometimes in life, we ask & seek for someone we can have & keep. But there’s nothing much you can do but to wait for the person whose quest in life is nothing else but to find you too.
When you love, never stick only to what your heart feels. Sometimes, using your brain is a necessity. Next, never use your eyes to cry for the person who fooled you. Instead, use it to search for the right one.
Don’t be scared of breaking up, keeping a relationship with a selfish partner is scarier. Love the one who will fight for you & bravely face each & every consequence.
