Love it. Wow. Such wisdom, Jessica. I realized much of this coming out of my last relationship - in a sense, I realized recently that I’m becoming the things I loved in my ex-boyfriend. I learned them from him, and I can cultivate them in myself now. And I got to practice slowing down with my next romance (despite it being with a hot and feiry Italian ;). Glad I have platonic friends and soulmates with whom I get to practice love daily. ❤
