*Love is supposed to feel like home, a place where you’re safe, valued, and understood.*
But sometimes, love comes in a form that breaks you instead of building you. It can make you question everything: your worth, your choices, even your ability to be loved.
We all have experienced that kind of love. *The kind that made you beg for attention, for affection, for the smallest proof that you mattered to them.* The kind of love that made you feel like you were too much and never enough at the same time.
It’s lonely, isn’t it?
To give so much of yourself and feel like it’s never truly returned. To stay awake at night, overthinking their actions, wondering if you’re the problem when all you ever wanted was to be loved right.
If love ever finds me again, I hope it’s not like that. I hope it’s from someone who makes me feel whole, not someone who leaves me doubting my value. I hope it’s with someone who loves me for who I am, not who they want me to be. *Someone who doesn’t make me feel stupid for trying, for caring too much, or for giving my all.*
Love shouldn’t be this hard. It shouldn’t hurt this much. I don’t want a love that feels like a lesson. *I want a love that feels like peace.* If that’s too much to ask, maybe I’d rather wait, lonely but whole, than settle for another love that breaks me.
Because I’ve learned one thing: *the love we deserve doesn’t make us beg for it.* It just stays. It just feels right.
