“Loving you is worth any atrocity this life could hand me. I would not trade it for anything. If whispers in the dark and fantasies in my dreams are all I get to have with you here, then that is enough. You are enough. What upsets me so is not whether you can give me anything. It is your freedom, your spirit, your life. You deserve those things.”

Brenwyn and Asteria from The Shattered Source Series have the most heartbreakingly beautiful story. I can’t wait for you to see more in book three. Art by @stephydrawsart_

Loving yourself is choosing to see your worth ❤️✨
🔥❤️ Loving yourself is not arrogance, selfishness, or believing you’re better than others. It’s learning to treat yourself with the same kindness, patience, and compassion you so freely give to everyone else. It’s understanding that your worth does not depend on who stays, who leaves, who applauds

If Loving Someone Feels Confusing, Ask Yourself
If loving someone constantly leaves you feeling confused, it may be time to ask yourself a few honest questions. Healthy love should not make you feel like you’re always guessing where you stand. Sometimes clarity doesn’t come from their answers — it comes from the questions you ask yourself.
