SOMETIMES, I Have To Remind Myself To Choose My Battles. I Choose Respect Over Love, Because Love Without Respect Slowly Breaks Me. I Choose Peace Over Drama, Because My Heart Is Tired Of Carrying Unnecessary Weight. I Choose Distance Over Disrespect, Because I Would Rather Sit In The Quiet Of My Own Company Than Be Surrounded By People Who Make Me Feel Small. And Above All, I Choose My Self-respect Over That Anxious Attachmernt I Once Called Love, Because I've Learned That Love Should Feel Like Home, Not Like A Storm I Have To Survive Every Day. It Took Me A Long Time To Understand That I Am Not Asking For Too Much. I Am Only Asking For The Kind Of Love That Does Not Hurt More Than It Heals, And If I Cannot Find That In Someone Else, I Will Find It In Myself.
