Stop asking people to love you the way you love them.
Not everyone carries your depth, your warmth, or that quiet instinct to give without being asked. Sometimes the ache comes from placing your heart in hands that never knew how to hold it.
You love with intention. You show up even when you’re tired, breaking, or unsure. You feel deeply in a world that often loves in passing. But you can’t expect your level of love from people who were never taught how to care for a heart like yours, it will only bruise you, make you believe you’re too much, when really, you’ve just been pouring the right love into the wrong places.
Love shouldn’t feel like pleading or proving your worth.
And one day, someone will meet you with the same gentleness, and effort you’ve been offering so freely.
Until then, don’t shrink yourself.
Just stop giving your heart to hands that can’t hold it.
