You shouldn’t have to ask someone to be thoughtful of you. That’s what loving someone is. Gestures and words and actions that show you, over and over, that you are on their mind and in their heart.
“Pay attention to the signs. Stop making excuses for people. Stop defending their inconsiderate ways. Start taking care of you and your own needs.”

And so you love and love without any in return; and if there were, they were filled with minimal effort and broken promises that made you believe that you weren’t worth it.
But one day you find someone who reciprocates that kind of love you give so freely. And then it all makes sense.
It all starts to make sense.
