“Because if you don’t meet your own soul before you meet another person’s, you’ll build a home in theirs and forget you ever had your own“

“Because when you know yourself, when you’ve sat in the quiet long enough to recognize the sound of your own pulse, you stop asking love to save you. You stop begging it to fill you. You meet someone, and for the first time, it’s not a rescue. It’s not desperation dressed up as devotion. It’s two people who’ve already walked themselves home, meeting at the door. There’s no clinging. No fear of vanishing inside them. You hold them because you want to, not because you’re afraid of what happens if you let go.“ the last sentence!!
