You have to become your own first love, learning to guide, honor, and trust yourself.
You need to figure out your purpose and stop seeking it through someone else.
Instead of chasing someone to complete you, you have to become the person you'd want to be with.
You have to fall in love with yourself.
And here's the kicker: you learn to see your partner as a mirror.
The hard part is looking in that mirror and recognizing the same flaws you want them to change.
It's brutal when your survival instincts are screaming at you, but choosing to understand and respect your partner as best you can is where the real growth happens.
It's not easy, but it's worth it.
