too apt

[akashah]

"the better you learn to take care of yourself,
the less you settle for bweing around people who can't or won't treat you the way you are accustomed to."

incidentally, something I came across tonight
which articulates the exact thoughts in my head right now.

how very true.

treat yourself well and
don't settle.

you settle in one facet,
you'll find it easier to settle a second time round.

before you know it,
you end up spending the rest of your life
simply doing that...
settling.

and I don't ever want that for myself.
