Quotes:
"I just allowed myself to cry and to grieve and to feel all of the feelings because I knew that if I didn't deal with that, I was just going to keep attracting more of the same."
"I was open, but not attached. There was no rush, no timeline, no pressure."
"I'm not going to abandon me to get someone else's approval."
"I wasn't out there searching for love; I was fully immersed in a life that felt joyful and fulfilling."
"His love is steady, strong, and unwavering. His love is a beautiful, masculine love. Strong yet soft."
"Your love story doesn't begin when someone else enters into your life. It begins the moment you decide to love yourself deeply, unapologetically, and completely."
