Healthy


A healthy relationship.

What is "healthy"?

Saying I love you when you get off the phone?

A good night and good morning text?

A like on instagram?

A tagged picture?

Healthy is saying I love you and really meaning it.

Healthy is being open and honest about how you feel.

Healthy is not feeling like you aren't good enough, and that you never will be.

Healthy is loving yourself and your significant other.

Healthy is knowing you can't commit and having the guts to say it.

Healthy isn't always what we want.

Relationships have become so distorted and fragmented

People constantly changing for someone who won't do the same

People loving the unlovables.

Healthy is an emotional state.

To be in a healthy relationship, you must be in a healthy mind.
