Green flags seem unnoticed nowadays.
They say, healthy relationships are boring. But imagine someone makes you feel comfortable and secure, remembers little tiny details about you including your favorites, and giving you assurance even if you not asked it. Someone you can be vulnerable with, you can be yourself, you can be genuine without disrespecting you. Someone who has clear and vivid plans about your relationship. Someone who respects your time and boundaries and understands that you have other people in your life. Someone who makes time for you, care for you, and sees your flaws as ground for bloom. Someone who never lets you sleep with a heavy heart and never take advantage of you.
Someone who communicates their thoughts because they care about your relationship; that disagreements are part of it and wants it healthy.
Imagine having someone who is good for your heart.
We are blinded by red flags because they are represented by the color of love. We always think that we can change them; that they'll soon realize their mistakes; that they will have initiative to fix themselves. We assume and hope that the love we give will be an enough reason for them to be better. Or otherwise, we want plot twist, we want thrill, we want someone's not boring, we want to play games, that we forgot about peace. We forgot about the love we deserve.
We deserve a love that keeps us sane. We deserve green flags.
