My Princess' Lesson


Ignorance is common

It can leave you oblivious to the treasure we search for

Love and ignorance can bring a terrible mix

It can bring physical, and verbal abuse

lies, backstabbing, and bitterness all bring a poisonous love

But sometimes the right person can show you what a fulfilling love is

July 9th, 2015 I started dating Ashley, my princess

My previous ex verbally abused, lied, and tried to manipulate me

I hoped that this would be different and only time could tell me this mystery

From then to now my princess had taught me what a healthy love is

Freedom, support, compromise, communication

All of this is what fuels our love that makes us feel full and supported inside

No shackles, stress, seeking approval, and belittlement

Just the experience of true love taught me what a healthy relationship is

The ability to have someone know and support everything about you without the fear of slander

That is a healthy relationship
