I don’t understand why some people settle for love that rips them apart. I can see it in how they act and feel that the relationship is like poison to them. This poison just eats away at them until they become unrecognizable. Ditch someone that treats you like you are some toy to be played with when they need you. When they are done, they throw you out. No one deserves love like that.

Hold out for someone who holds you heart with fragile hands and is willing to listen to every word you have to say, even if its just about how bad your day was. Hold out for someone that will treat you like the queen (or king) you are. Be with someone that notices you have a broken heart but is willing to help you glue all the pieces back together one piece at a time.

Hold out for someone that will fully respect you, and I don’t mean respect as in respect your body or space. The respect I’m talking about is talking about respecting you mind, your heart, your soul, and the person that you are. Hold out for someone who isn’t afraid to be mussy with you around his friends and will constantly tell you “I love you” till you think its obnoxious. Hold out for a guy that can see something is wrong and force you to say it, even if it makes you cry, because he knows it will make you feel better.

Hold out for someone that is rarely on their phone in your presence. Hold out for someone that will do anything just to spend time with you and see you smile. Hold out for someone that understands you and is willing to give you space when needed. Hold out for someone that encourages you to be the best version of yourself. Hold out for someone that will love you for you, no matter what is happening. Hold out for someone that truly loves you and shows it so much that you don’t question he or she loves you. Love is feeling secure knowing that this person loves you and will never stop.

When you hold out for someone that truly respects and loves you, it makes that relationship so much more worth the wait. The sad fact is that most people don’t believe this love exists; they think they should settle for someone that likes them and that’s that. Most people don't think they are worthy of great love. Some people, myself included, are waiting to meet the right person to hopefully have that great connection with. It's better to be single than destroyed in a toxic relationship. Sure, waiting can be agonizing and some people want a boyfriend/girlfriend just to have one for the title. That right there shows that their intentions are not the best, and you need to get out of the realtionship. Just wait for the love that you deserve to have in your life, its coming I promise. When it does come, you will see why it was worth the wait.
