Recently, on top of all the things, I’ve been a little blue because my attempts to re-enter the dating world went sideways and I got my heart bruised. It’s all good. Many lessons learned there as life is so excellent at teaching me. My sister encouraged me to create art for myself to put around my house as reminders to myself. I thought it was a good idea and I share with you in case you need to be reminded, too.
Crumbs. Less than the bare minimum. These are unacceptable in a relationship—both in the giving and receiving. Sure we have off days and in good partnerships we can pick up the slack or the other one can just so that the average is approximately 50/50. But it is better to be without, to be alone than to have crumbs consistently, perpetually.
I know what it is to have my whole cake. I had to have a painful reminder why less than that is not okay for me. It shouldn’t be okay for anyone.
Oh sweetheart, you deserve the WHOLE cake.

You absolutely DO deserve more than crumbs! But you’re right, sometimes (most times?) your heart takes a battering trying to get there (and really no pun intended, but now I’d like to lick the beater and I’m shutting up now).

Bryan set a high standard.❤️
I think I’d rather be a bit lonely than settle for crumbs and be miserable. 🥺
