The longer I stay single, the clearer things become to me. I’ve stopped seeking company just because I’m lonely and making myself vulnerable in the process.
Spending more time with myself has made me realize that, regardless of your intentions, you can’t mold someone into the kind of partner you want—especially if they don’t truly see a future with you. You may want someone who yearns for you, but you can’t force that. Someone who genuinely wants you will make it known.
To be seen and loved can be a beautiful thing when it’s mutual. I’d rather be single than settle for someone who constantly makes me question myself or my value. If someone isn’t naturally showing the qualities you seek, that’s simply not your person.
Sometimes you have to think to yourself: my future wife or husband would never treat me like this.
There shouldn’t be constant second-guessing or living in uncertainty. That’s never a fun place to be, especially for an anxious person like me.
