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).

Lumen’s Diary: Darling, It Gets Better

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. But you can make this shift in mindset, energy and confidence in 1 year if you really want, and you’re brave enough to choose yourself and decide that you deserve better.

What is familiar, you unconsciously replicate in your own life – life imitates art! So, by becoming conscious of and unfamiliarizing the low value traits, then familiarizing yourself with high value ones (both in your relationships and in your personal development), you are actively re-wiring yourself to register only high value traits as attractive and acceptable.

Toxic Representations Of Love In Media

All these unhealthy representations of love in books and media replaying outdated patterns, cycles and hurting each other all ‘in the name of love’? I’m over it. I’ve been over it since 2017. Write about couples that are teamplayers ready to brave the whole world for each other. Write healthy representations of flawed individuals working through their stunted emotional awareness, those toxic behavioral patterns ingrained by social conditioning.
