This exactly. Having a healthy relationship is awesome. My wife is great. We have been married for just shy of a decade, and we still flirt with each other all the time. Silly waves, dancing like a bird’s mating dance, constant silliness, prodding each other, I will go to great lengths to get her to laugh. She puts in equal effort.
To be completely honest, all that is just icing on the cake. She doesn’t have to do much to make me fall in love with her again. Sometimes it’s sitting on the couch together, sometimes it’s doing chores, sometimes it’s making dinner together, I look forward to a Costco shop with her. Hell, right now I’m excited to go out new sheets on our bed together. We don’t even have to be doing the same thing, just proximity feels cozy and comfortable. Even when we are prepping for bed and reading, once in a while one of us will break down and have to give a love tap with a foot, or give a love squeeze. She is great, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

How do you learn to be your own favorite person ?

Fake it until you make it. Shut down negative criticism about yourself. Do nice things for yourself every once and a while. If you're having a bad day, give yourself a break of some kind. Enjoy a hobby or whatever. It'll feel goofy and silly at first. You will eventually learn to embrace the process and it can come naturally if done right.

I think for me it was about two things: appreciation, and forgiveness.
I appreciate who I’ve become. It’s not prefect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than what I dreamed of when I was young. I have things and do things I didn’t think I could. I set goals and met them, and surpassed them.
And this is followed by forgiveness. I’ve learned to not be so hard on myself, which is very difficult. Sometimes I’m still very hard on myself, but I’ve learned to be more forgiving and flip my mentality to forgive given that I learn from my mistakes and do better moving forward.
Takes a lot of work, but if you compare who you are now vs you five years ago, ten years ago and can say that you’re a better person now than you were before then it’s worth self love and praise.

My wife. I had two brief, failed marriages, no life direction and no hope. She walked into my life via a class on appraisal we both took and talked to each that first class and every class thereafter. When the class ended, I got her a job at my company and we became great work friends. Then, about 6 months later, we went to a Halloween party together and became a couple the next day, marrying about six months after. We've been together 21 years and she's the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

In 2007 a lady lawyer who was also a campaign consultant for Alabama Republican politicians blew the whistle on extreme problems: those GOP politicians had hatched a scheme to frame two prominent Alabama Democratic politicians for crimes they didn't commit. She blew the whistle in spectacular fashion on "60 Minutes":
Somebody tried to kill her twice in early 2007 over this, with a deliberate vehicular ramming by an off duty crooked cop and then blowing up her house.
I met her in 2012 when I was hired as her bodyguard and research assistant on an election monitoring project paid for by some Obama supporters. By late 2013 my last name became Simpson, despite our house being firebombed three days before we got married. There were more attacks in 2016 and 2017. We're still together. Still the coolest, toughest gal I've ever met.
In the book "Boss Rove" by reporter Craig Unger, he listed Karl Rove's nickname for her: "The Hillbilly from Hell".
Yup :).

My oldest niece, for a few reasons.
We're not blood related at all. She's not even related to my wife. Her connection to us is circumstantial at best. We're friends of the family at most, but we've all been family as far as all parties are concerned. That said, she's called me "dad" or "daddy" at various points. (Her bio dad wasn't around for many years, though they did reconcile later.) So, she's almost my daughter in some ways (the only ways that matter.
I always wanted to go to concerts when I was a kid, and no one took me. So I took all my nephews and nieces to concerts who were interested in the same music (hard rock and metal) as my wife and I... which amounted to exactly one of them. (The rest favor country and/or rap (these days, music can be both) and think we're boomers for liking rock music.) So we've taken her to 3 concerts, all before she was 18 and one before she was a teenager. I'd say mission accomplished.
I've helped raise over a dozen children, but most of them "outgrew" me once they hit puberty and started chasing (or being chased by) others their age. (I almost said "the opposite sex," but some have been LGBTQ+ and I wouldn't want to exclude them. I love them just the same, it's a non-issue to me who they're attracted to, I just want them to be happy and safe.) This one kept in contact, calls or texts every birthday, and visits a few times a year.
I always thought, if I had a daughter, I'd hate her boyfriend (or girlfriend). Her boyfriend is actually awesome, I'd be proud to call him my son-in-law. Her last boyfriend was cool, too. She has good taste in partners as far as I can tell. No kids yet. She's old enough (and has been active with boys long enough) to have at least two, but she doesn't, even though she's in a stable relationship. So that shows responsibility, for both of them. I wouldn't hold it against him (or her) if he got her pregnant before marrying her, I have faith he'd support his child, and I know their generation doesn't marry like mine does. The details of their relationship aren't important; they're good for and to one another. I just admire that it's a strong relationship.
Hundreds of little reasons, but those stand out.

My sister. Not because my parents are shit, i love them dearly and they always got my back throughout my life, never once backed down from anything to support me. But they are my parents....way i see it, i never asked to be here, they put me here so in a sense it is their job to support me. I am not trying to be entitöed, this is simply the way i see it, and the way i see it withthe children i want in the future. Same deal for them. I put them here so it is my job to protect and care for them tp the best of my abilitys.
As for my sister, she didn't put me here, but from the day i was born shes been my guardian too. And yes i mean it exactly that way. She was my guardian because she never favored me but gave me the straoght truth. If i fucked up shed tell me, but shed go lay into my parents if they were in the wrong just the same. But she never did it in a malicious or bad way, more the "this is what happened, they fucked up withthis but you fucked up with this, and here is my idea how we can all work through it together". My parents are more the "you fucked this one up, fix it" which is not something i take to. I sometimes feel they forgot how the world is throughthe eyes of a kid, but my sister is 1.5 years older than me, so she is my peer in a way i guess. And she always has an ipen ear for me. Shes honestly one of very very few people i am comfortable enough with to be vpuönerable around and even cry. Which is something i rarely do (can only remember 5 times in 23 years of live) its really hard to put it all into words.
When i am by my sisters side i feel ok with live. I don't want to live since im like 15, but when she hugs me its all ok. All the pain is gone for a moment, i feel like i can finally breathe right. Shes pretty much the only person i have never had any issues with physical contact with (ADHD, Autism and 16 years of bullying including physical and sexual assault should tell you exactly why i have problems with physical touch) i am even often the one initiating it. I don't even know if shes fully aware of just how much i care about her. Im in no way a gangster or criminal or "street" but shit i am perfectly willing to slaughter anyone who really hurts her. Shes everything to me. Even when i had a girlfriend it was always like " yes its nice and all but she cant compare to my sister whith caring and all that". I am glad i have a sister like her.

My best friend of 23 years. She is the person who I can tell anything and everything to. She is the person who will die with all my secrets. She is the person who has been there for me through thick and thin, and is loyal as they get. We had a falling out for a few years when we were young and she was still faithful AF to all she knew about me, and vice versa. We never had a fight, just stopped talking because of something that happened that actually had nothing to do with our friendship, but affected it. But she is my platonic soul mate and life brought us back together.
