What does a healthy relationship look like?

Disagreements may still appear even in healthy relationships, and it’s ok, as communication is essentual for a healthy dynamic. However, his approach to disagreements is a secure one: each will share their perspective.

And if feelings were hurt or mistakes were made, he takes accountability for his side, and makes genuine apologies followed by reparations and direct actions (ie. “I’m sorry I did x, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I will be/do y in the future”, and then does as he promised).

Darling, It Gets Better (Lumen’s Diary)

I hope my story inspires you to not give up on yourself. Wherever you may be in life, whatever phase or age, it’s always worth it to start loving yourself, to start believing in yourself. I’m not saying it’s easy or fast. After all, it took me 10 years to get here.

The idea that it is not only acceptable, but normal to dissociate love from lust, affection from desire, the heart from the body.
