You shouldn’t make one person your whole world because if you break up you’re going to feel like you have no reason to live. You’re going to feel like your whole life is falling apart. You’re going to have an extremely hard time getting over them and moving on with your life.

No, breakups are never easy, but if you have other beautiful things in your world aside from your relationship, you’ll still have something to look forward to each morning. You’ll still have little things that bring you joy. You’ll have an easier time finding hope after you part ways.

Even if you end up sticking together until death do you part, you shouldn’t make one person your whole world because you’re supposed to be your own person. Love isn’t supposed to take away your personality or your dreams for the future. You can still act as a team while acting an individual. You can still take your partner’s opinion into consideration when making opinions without letting them rule over you.

You’re not supposed to agree with your partner one-hundred percent of the time. You’re supposed to have your own thoughts and ideas and opinions. You’re supposed to be two separate people coming together, not clones of one another.
