The relationship advice I'd give my 20 year-old :
• Slow down. Don't rush love. Learn each other's fears, dreams, values, and scars. The goal isn't just to know them it's to become each other's "ChatGPT": the one person who truly understands without needing everything explained.
• Love starts the relationship. Respect and appreciation keep it alive.
• Communicate. Then give each other the space to process and understand.
• It's never you vs. them. It's always us vs. the problem.
• Don't keep replaying old stories in every argument. Focus on growth, not scorekeeping. Give people a fair chance to change but make sure the change is real.
• After every fight, choose each other again. That's what commitment looks like.
Forgiveness isn't weakness.
It's one of the strongest forms of love.
