This feels so timely as I've been having a lot of thoughts on relationships. I've been falling for people who may not quite be good for me, but I'm hooked, and maybe a bit scared of being alone.
I think Self-love and esteem are very important before going into relationships, because it helps you identify BS you are unwilling to allow in your life. Not everyone will be lucky to find someone who helps them love themselves even more.
OMG! This piece brought back some concerns (and red flags) I disregarded/ignored in the past simply because “being in love” with someone felt enough & worth holding on to despite it all. In a nutshell, it never ended well lol!
I agree, “sometimes love isn’t enough” and the four questions beautifully highlight on why as well as how they play an imperative role in saving one from toxic or dysfunctional relationships.
I've always thought it necessary to go into relationships with more pragmatism and less feels. Cold, but necessary.
Anyway! I'm super happy to read this, Arinze. Cheers!❤

I hope I can learn to love my self enough.
Thanks Arinze.
