If covid didn't happen, if I didn't lost my fiancé, I would be marrying in a few hours time the woman of my dreams alongside all of my loved ones in her 11th century castle in the south of france. Broken.

I’m beginning to recognise that real happiness isn’t something large and looming on the horizon ahead but something small, numerous and already here. The smile of someone you love. A decent breakfast. The warm sunset. Your little everyday joys all lined up in a row.

Why should a relationship mean settling down? Wait out for someone who won’t let life escape you, who will challenge you & drive you toward your dreams, someone spontaneous you can get lost in the world with. A relationship, with the right person, is a release, not a restriction

One day, whether you are 14, 28, or 65 you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die. However, the saddest, most awful truth you may ever come to find, is they are not always with whom we spend our lives.

Our tragedy is that we want who we can’t have, grow disinterested in those we do, and no matter how painful the time we shared with them was, we inevitably long for those whom we lose.

We are taught to practice self-love, but the truth is we have to earn it. Take responsibility for your poor habits and work to overcome them. Be someone you can depend on, trust in, and feel proud of. Set the same standards for your self-love as you would for the love of another.

There are no half measures in love, only all or nothing. And if it doesn't make you tremble and go mad at the very thought of their absence, you should quietly part ways and move on.
