My history with relationships is different from yours, but some of the lessons are the same I think. It’s important to know ourselves, to cultivate our own sense of self, to endeavour to be the person you are, and live authentically, true to yourself.

It’s easy to lose our sense of self within an incompatible relationship. We mould ourselves to fit with our partner, and when incompatible, it’s to our own detriment.

To indulge in ourselves, be ourselves without answering to anybody, without being needed or clung to, is a great way to grow confidence. Confidence in our self, in our sense of worth in this world, our place in the universe.

You are intelligent, articulate, clever, and beautiful. You do beautiful, human things. You don’t need apps to find connection; human connection is formed by being together in person, doing something together. I know you are awesome, I believe in you 💜
