“A woman with healthy boundaries will not lose herself in a relationship and will not allow her identity to be contingent upon how a man sees her. She will continue to maintain her own life outside of the relationship without giving up her friends, hobbies, or alone time.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“People with high self-esteem believe they are worthy of love and don’t question how someone feels about them.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com

“Be real with yourself and honest about the relationship.
