Am looking for.. not

I’ve danced with versions of love that made me question my worth.
I’ve bent into shapes that left me hollow.
I’ve called chaos “chemistry” and silence “peace.”
I’ve waited, hoped, fought, and mothered grown adults who couldn’t meet me at my depth.
I’ve carried connection like a cross thinking if I just held on long enough, it would bloom.

Now I have realised I need this..

I need a love that feels like home, not like a house I’m constantly renovating.

I need a love where I’m not the therapist, the teacher, or the emotional babysitter.

I need presence. Not promises.

I need someone who:

*Sees me clearly—not as a projection or a project, but as a sovereign soul.

*Shows up consistently—not just when they feel like it, but because they value what we’re building.

*Leans in when it’s hard — not someone who disappears into their phone, their ego, or their silence.

*Takes accountability—the real kind, without defensiveness or guilt-tripping.

*Meets me in emotional intimacy—not just physical closeness.

I don’t want hot-and-cold.
I don’t want breadcrumb love.
I don’t want to be the only one doing the emotional labor.

I’m waiting for my person who shows up for me like this!!

We don't always get our needs, wants or desires.

I doubt there's anyone that does get all of that. Not even just all our needs.

Yet we must make do with what we do receive. We must make it sufficient.

Cherish what little you do receive. It might not come around again. 😔
