Don't know who needs to hear this, but...

If you're wondering if you're settling, you are.

If you're wondering if you deserve better, you do.

Never be with someone who makes you feel like you're difficult to love. You aren't.

If you're waiting for him to change, because "he's great, except..." he won't change.

There was a time in my life when I definitely needed to hear this, and in retrospect I'm frustrated at my past self for not realizing it sooner!
