"The minute you settle for less than you deserve,
you get less than you settled for."

I deserve to be loved and be told I'm loved.

I deserve to live my life as I choose.

I deserve to be cherished

I deserve to receive what I give and I give alot

I deserve to have someone I can honor and who honors me.

I deserve to state my needs and have them met

I deserve aknowledgement for my growth

I deserve heartfelt affection

I deserve respect.

I deserve honesty.

I deserve not to be lied to,
for any reason,
even when you know it will hurt.

I deserve loyalty.

I deserve someone who can take
resposibility for themselves and their actions,
as I take responsibility for myself and my actions.

I deserve open communication,
as I give open communication.

I deserve a second chance
when I screw up on minor things,
as I am not perfect.
