14. My husband asked me what position was best to knock me up. Not very romantic but it made my heart skip a little bit.

15. I had gone out for dinner with a friend and for probably the first time ever, did not tell my husband specifically where I was going.

Well my family found out my brother had killed himself and were trying to reach me but my phone was on silent in my purse. So my husband drove to every restaurant near the vague area I had mentioned to him until he found me and drove me to my parents. He was an amazing rock and helped me through everything with that whole situation. I don’t know where I’d be without him.

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
