Happiness begins and ends with you.
My last relationship taught me that let me grow up and not fall in love again until I feel that the right person is by my side. Because it's easy to lose track of yourself once you fall in love. When love becomes the right one, you rise to the top and see everything around you.
He taught me to trust my intuition. You know, your body will also send you signals that the relationship is unhealthy (lack of sleep, inability to eat, nausea, etc.). However, you will somehow convince yourself that it is something else, that your relationship is just OK.
I realized that I would be with my partner had to talk about anything. Because if two avoid communication and ignore problems, it's not a partnership.
He taught me to remember and accept the fact that all humans, ALL of us, make mistakes. But if you or that person keeps doing the same thing over and over again, it's not a mistake, it's a choice. A choice that won't change. Apologize for the same thing only once.
My last relationship taught me that I must not judge others. People will only grow if they want to and if they are ready. I can't force them, all the effort will be in vain.
I learned that not everyone has the same heart as me - the world is an interesting place, because we are all different. I also learned that I need someone who will understand my heart, who understands or speaks the language of my heart, even if it is a foreign language he has to learn.
I realized that I must be sympathetic to the ideals and views of others, that relationships end, just like the cycle of life - people, plants, animals and everything else on this planet.
My last relationship taught me to never put more of myself into a relationship with another person than into a relationship with myself. Happiness begins and ends with me.
