How can you know if the people you are choosing are also choosing you?

Are you pouring your time, energy, and heart into someone—hoping they’ll come around, hoping they’ll finally see your worth, hoping they’ll meet you halfway?

This can show up in a lot of ways:

  • Canceling your plans just in case they want to spend time with you
  • Keeping yourself emotionally unavailable for someone who already walked away
  • Saying yes to every invitation from someone who wouldn’t do the same for you
  • Holding out for a connection that only you seem to be investing in

When we do this, we’re not just overgiving—we’re starving ourselves of real connection.

It’s easy to believe that love has to be earned. That if we can prove our value, sacrifice enough, or just wait long enough, they’ll choose us. But people aren’t projects. And connection isn’t something you should have to beg for.

So here’s your nudge to:
💛 Start noticing who lights up when you walk into the room.
💛 Start investing in those who already show up for you.
💛 Start saying yes to the people who say yes to you.

Because love doesn’t require convincing.
And real friendship doesn’t leave you guessing.

You deserve more than crumbs. You deserve to be nourished by relationships that are mutual, steady, and safe.

So take a breath. Do a little relationship audit.
And make room for the ones who are choosing you—consistently and wholeheartedly.

You are worthy of that kind of connection.
