I honestly think when you meet someone that’s right for you, you just know. You don’t want to possess them, you want them to be free, and you want them to be their own person. Never controlling.

They know what sets you off, what triggers you, what makes you anxious. And instead of getting a rise out of you they steer away from making you have to defend yourself or revisiting your trauma.

They allow you to grow from your past, and they allow you to learn them. They make it a point to study you, and learn you, so you know how to deal with each other.

They’re not okay with going to bed or leaving the house upset. They want to communicate + fix what’s wrong, in the healthiest way possible.
