for the first time in my life, i am trying a relationship with someone that i like but more than that i admire that he respects me and treats me well, instead of with someone whom im madly in love with but is toxic and treats me like shit

and i have to say i feel calm and like it’s working out and i’ve never felt this calm and confident about any of my relationships before, instead i was always just paranoid, anxious and just waiting for things to go wrong
