I hope you find a love that makes you feel like you don’t have to give up everything for it to last. A love that won’t push you to walk on the edge of a cliff for them even when it means forgetting about your own needs and safety. A love that won’t teach you to go against the law or leave people behind to keep it. A love that won’t make you compromise, won’t make you lower your standards and forget all the lessons you’ve learned from your past just to make them right for you. I hope you find a love that beats for no one else but you. A love that stays not only on the good times but most especially on difficult times. A love that doesn’t seek a filler for your lapses in others but helps you find it in yourself. A love who’s always willing to work it out. Who doesn’t give up when you feel like giving up but reminds you that you can win anything together. I hope you find a love that makes you feel that you’re enough and you don’t have to change the way you are to be enough. Rare as it is, but I hope that when you find that kind of love, you protect it with all your heart. —Ali Artwork by @wifi313 (IG)
