View your time as valuable.
Revel in your successes.
Feel like a home, safety, family, a beacon of light.
Care for and about your health and safety.
Allow you to fall apart without judgement or agenda.
Ask you to message them when you’ve arrived safely.
Wouldn’t be surprised at the things they find if they had to go through your belongings.
Regulate your nervous system by their mere presence and existence.
Foster feelings of certainty and don’t shield your eyes or heart with doubt.
Make the time and effort to remind you you’re thought of.
Don’t leave you on “read”, “seen” or un-responded to.
Value and keep their word – and the behavior aligns.
Don’t view you as a threat or competition.
Understand the depth of the intimacy you’re willing to exchange with them and it’s safeguarded like a rare and valuable treasure.
Provide reassurance you don’t have to ask or beg for.
Come from a place of transluceny, even when the truth scalds.
Practice and respect boundaries, limits, who give space and know how to ask for it in return.
Find the meaning in the unspoken just as much as what is said out loud.
Value trust and reciprocity as the most sacred form of currency.
Actively choose you and themselves. Willingly. Ferociously. Fearlessly.
Follow through, give room to breathe, show up – and when the time is right to do it all.
See your darkness as much as your light and love you anyway.
