Anything But Impulsive

What you called living in the moment, being carefree was you being impulsive and careless

And no decision has ever come off well when you have been too spontaneously reckless about it

BUT THIS TIME, YOU HAVE TO BE ANYTHING BUT IMPULSIVE

You don't have to force anything
You dont have to ignore red flags
You don't have to be the bigger person
You don't have to give the benefit of the doubt
You don't have to let go of their mistakes
You dont have to be cool with ignorance
You dont have to be too understanding
You don't have to give second chances
You don't have to neglect your gut feeling
You dont have to allow being taken for granted
You don't have to avoid confrontation
You don't have to suppress your concerns
You don't have to choose heart over logic
You don't have to be extra welcoming
You don't have to settle for mistreatment
You just can't let an impulse ruin your visage

Here's what you deserve 

A caring heart that cares unconditionally as you do 
A listening ear that is always ready to hear you out 
An empathetic soul that understands why you do what you do
A righteous person who keeps loyalty as their foremost principal
A kind nature that is soft and loving just like yourself
A helpful hand that is there with you through all your rough patches
A supportive human who always encourages you and supports you 
An appreciative eye that adores you for the person you are and values you

And while the list could go on forever and it may sound too much to ask for
The right person will give you even more without you begging for it! 

This time, you won't be taken for granted, ignored, cheated on, dumped, used, replaced, or disowned

Let your mind take the lead and make the heart follow what it instructs!
