Being In Love With Someone Means Loving Them When They Haven’t Eaten All Day. Forcing Them To Eat In

A small Japanese puffer fish is the creator of one of the most spectacular animal-made structures. To impress the female puffer fish, the male labors 24 hours a day for a week to create a pattern in the sand. If the female finds his work satisfactory, she allows him to fertilize her eggs. She then lays them in the middle of the circle, leaving the male to guard the eggs alone.

Very true. But. . . So very hard to do.

you can’t make someone care, or act right, or miss you, or want you, or regret the way they acted, or be ready for you, or realise you’re worth it, but what you can and should do is just completely remove yourself from the situation, make yourself unavailable to them & move on

My father was a WWII vet, he believed in the greatness of this country and took pride in the role it took after the war to lead the world in so many ways. He taught me to see the potential in our country. Now I mourn for the fractured nation we have become. Infused with hate and mistrust. The country of my father no longer exists.

I hear this TOO much.
