You deserve someone who's dying to be with you.
A wise woman once put love in perspective for me:
“Would he be there to hold
back your hair when you’re vomiting from chemo? When you’re laying in the hospital bed, will you be worried
about where he has crept off to? Life is hard enough, don’t be with
someone whose mood you have to worry about when you both should be worried
about raising your kids and paying the bills.”
“Do what makes you happy,
but know that mysterious and dark boys don’t make for functional men or
relationships. Don’t waste your time on a sort of love that leaves you
in bed with that sick, lonely feeling in your stomach. You deserve someone
who’s dying to be with you. Love doesn’t second-guess.”
