DON'T FORGET TO LOVE YOURSELF

You can't convince someone to love you, to choose you, to show up for you. That's not your work. Your work is to choose yourself enough to walk away from what confuses you, drains you, or makes you question your worth.

Let's call a spade a spade if it's not mutual, it's not real. Love that isn't returned will wound you. Choose the person who chooses you and back, because anything less is not a relationship rather it's a lesson.

Love that isn’t returned will wound you, no matter how much you care or how desperately you wish things were different. This is where love self love comes in .

Self-love is about understanding that your worth isn’t dependent on someone else’s validation. It’s about respecting yourself enough to prioritize your peace and happiness over painful, one-sided efforts. This reminds of a quote by Buddha which says “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

Walking away from unreciprocated love is an act of radical self-love. It creates space for healthier, more fulfilling connections to enter your life . Practicing patience and compassion is highly important during this process. Healing and growth take time, but every step one takes towards honoring one's self is a step closer to the love one truly deserves.

Companionship is bliss no doubt which is why it's important to stay gentle with one's heart. The right person will align with your energy and cherish you for exactly who you are. Until then, keep choosing yourself because your self-love is the foundation for all the love you will ever receive.
