It really is that simple.

Choose people who choose you.
In presence.
In energy.
In effort.
In the spaces where no one is watching.

Not the ones who make you guess.
Or shrink.
Or wait.

Not the ones who only reach out when they need something.
Not the ones who love the version of you that’s easy, shiny, or agreeable —
but disappear when the messy, magical real you shows up.

We’ve all had them.
The almosts.
The half-steps.
The ones who made us work so hard for scraps of closeness.

But here’s the gentle reckoning I keep coming back to:
You are not meant to be pursued like a puzzle piece.
You are meant to be met — fully, freely, without performance.

Choose people who see you in your full expression.
Who witness both your brilliance and your breakdowns, and don’t flinch.
Who remember the small things — your laugh, your triggers, your favorite coffee order —
and honor the big ones — your boundaries, your values, your becoming.

These people exist.
They do.
And they don’t require chasing.
They simply arrive — and stay.

They hold space without fixing.
They celebrate your evolution without shrinking beside it.
They show up in both the sparkle and the silence.

And maybe this is your sign:
To stop begging for crumbs from tables that were never meant to feed you.
To stop convincing someone to choose you when their heart is elsewhere.
To walk toward the kind of connection that feels like peace, not performance.

🌿

No more confusion.
No more convincing.
No more contorting yourself to earn love.

Just clear, steady choosing — from both sides.

That’s the standard.

And if you’re still finding your people…
If you’re still softening from old stories and learning how to choose yourself first…

You are so welcome here.
