I deserve a love that chooses me every day, not one that looks for reasons to wander. It took me a long time to realize this. For years, I convinced myself that love was supposed to be hard, that doubts and distance were just part of the deal. I told myself that his restlessness wasn’t a reflection of my worth—that maybe if I tried harder, gave more, or became “better,” he would stay.

But love isn’t something you should have to beg for. Love isn’t a fleeting feeling that drifts in and out like the wind. Real love is steady, a choice made daily with intention and care. I spent so much time trying to be “enough” for someone who couldn’t see my value because his eyes were always searching for something—or someone—else.

The day I let go of him was the day I began to embrace what I truly deserve. I don’t want a love that settles for me because it’s convenient. I don’t want a partner whose eyes wander, looking for reasons to leave when things get hard. I want a love that sees me, chooses me, and stays—not out of obligation, but out of pure devotion.

I now know that the right love doesn’t feel like chasing or convincing. It feels like being met halfway, with no doubt in the other person’s commitment. And until I find that, I’ll continue choosing myself—every day, just like the love I deserve someday will.
