Nurturing my nature

The love language I’ve learned from my mother

I realized I couldn’t be with someone who’s soft with me. Maybe it’s nature vs. nurture and the love language I learned from my mother. But tough love, challenge me, humble me, push me, inspire me to be better and live up to my potential. That’s the love, that I desire. I need someone who can recognize my independence and not be offended by it.

I write to process, to heal, to move through life with a little bit of grace, to stop living in my head, to find power in vulnerability - thankfully with editing tools, unlike real life.
