Remember not to settle. Let's go to war.
I heard a saying a few months ago that really struck a chord within me. Basically they said that when choosing a partner, choose someone you could go to war with.
I've spent a lot of time in my life fighting for deserters and people who would never fight for me. I give people chance after chance with little regard for my own self. In the end I always find myself drained, hurt and forgetting who I am. I deserve to be chosen everyday. I deserve someone I can fight my battles with. I deserve someone who will fight for me just as hard as I fight for them. If that realization ain't powerful... I'm not sure what is.
It's time to remember who I am, and what I'm freakin worth!
Not gunna lie... this last breakup I had nearly destroyed me. Yes it still hurts, yes I am still struggling.... but I'm going to take it one step at a time. One day at a time.

I hear you, Xintrix. I often tell people that respect is the number one "must have" in a relationship - without that you can't build trust, and you can't effectively communicate with one another. And those, as I think about it, are also the three things you would need if you were to go to war! Great metaphor.
Yeah not really sure who said it but I whole heartedly agree.
