Somethings situationships can be fun but if you find yourself not wanting that type of dynamic remove yourself from that situation. Choose you FIRST !!!

Intention- An intention is idea that you plan (or intend) to carry out. If you mean something, it's an intention. Your goal, purpose, or aim is your intention. It's something you mean to do, whether you pull it off or not. I truly hope my prayer helped you today because it definitely helped me.
