wn. Don’t. I don’t think loving someone means you have to give every single piece of yourself to them. You should always leave room for yourself, because at the end of the day, you’re still your own person outside of that relationship. You can love someone deeply without making them the center of your entire world. Don’t put all your happiness, hopes, and sense of worth in someone else’s hands. It’s not about expecting things to go wrong or preparing yourself to be disappointed, but understanding that you still have yourself to come home to, no matter how things turn out. Give love and let yourself feel everything, but never abandon yourself just because you want someone to stay.
