@karis_unfiltered: Sweetheart, can we talk about the kind of love that slowly makes you forget your own worth? 🧡 The kind where you’re always understanding, always forgiving, always waiting. Waiting for them to change. Waiting for them to make an effort. Waiting for them to finally choose you the way you’ve been choosing them. And every time they give you a little attention, you convince yourself that maybe, just maybe, things are finally different. But here’s something you need to hear. You cannot love someone into loving you the way you deserve. You can be the most patient, understanding, and devoted person in the world, but a relationship cannot survive on one person’s willingness alone. And sweetheart, please stop treating someone’s occasional affection like you’ve just won the emotional lottery. 🙃 Love isn’t supposed to feel like a competition where you’re constantly trying to qualify for first place. Now, this doesn’t mean walking away the moment things become difficult. Healthy relationships require patience, communication, forgiveness, and effort. But that effort needs to come from both sides. There’s a difference between fighting for love and fighting to be loved. And if you’ve spent so much time trying to convince someone to choose you that you’ve forgotten to choose yourself, perhaps it’s time to ask a different question. Not, “What else can I do to make them stay?” But, “Why am I so willing to stay where I continually feel unwanted?” You can love someone and still recognize that the relationship isn’t giving you what you need. You can miss someone and still choose your peace. And you can walk away without making them the villain of your story. Because sometimes, two people simply cannot give each other the love they need. Sweetheart, you deserve a love that chooses you willingly, not one you have to keep begging for. And please remember: choosing yourself isn’t selfish. Sometimes, it’s the beginning of healing. 🧡 With love, and a little tough love — Karis. 🎙️ 📖 Inspired by A Soft Place to Heal #LittleNotesFromKaris #KnowYourWorth #ChooseYourself #SelfRespect #HealingJourney
