choose someone who thinks of you before they do something, not after. someone who pauses and asks, "will this hurt you?" or "will this make you feel bad?" someone who cares enough to consider your feelings first, not only realize your worth after the damage is done. you deserve someone who is mindful, even in the smallest things, someone who handles your heart with care. because the right person won't keep hurting you then saying sorry later. they will respect you enough to choose better and protect your feelings before it ever gets to that point.
