In toxic relationships, you're forced to choose between honesty and loyalty. You bite your tongue to protect their ego.
In healthy relationships, honesty is an expression of loyalty. You speak your mind to help them grow.
When you have trust and respect, candor shows care.

Major life decisions shouldn’t be based on short-term emotions. They should be guided by long-term values.
Feelings are better mirrors than maps. They reflect our present state, but they don't come with future directions.
Don't let today's mood drive who you become tomorrow.
