August Gratitude.

“Kristin, just because what is true for today is true, doesn’t mean it will always be. And if it is, you’re a step closer to who you’re meant to be with,” said my mom.

The breakup made me realize I’m meant to be with myself and not seek or expect happiness to come from another person. With that said, the separation also gave my relationship life. It allowed us to appreciate one another in a new light, gave us an honesty we didn’t know before, and a sense of direction we’d like to grow to together.

A lot can happen in a month!
