I used to overthink every little thing I texted my boyfriend. I’d type something cute, stare at it, then delete it three times before hitting send. But here’s what I realized: a well-timed, genuine message? It can change the entire energy of someone’s day. It’s like giving them a little emotional hug through the phone….
I’ve been there. I remember looking into his eyes, feeling wrapped in warmth and possibility, convinced that love meant we could conquer anything. But sometimes love isn’t enough—and over time, I realized that certain relationship red flags weren’t just momentary blips. They were warning signs I couldn’t ignore. Letting go doesn’t mean I didn’t love…
