Sometimes, you get so used to being an option
that being chosen feels unfamiliar,
almost like a trick,
like something that might disappear
The moment you believe in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You start to question everything.
Kindness feels suspicious.
Consistency feels temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because you remember
What it was like before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friendships where you had to prove yourself,
over and over again.
Spaces where your presence
needed justification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You gave your time freely,
Yet still felt like you had to earn theirs.
You showed up fully,
Yet still felt half-seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was exhausting, trying to be enough
for people who had already decided
You were not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were moments
You felt like an extra in your own story,
standing on the side
while others took center stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And somehow, You stayed. You tried harder.
Gave more. Hoped louder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until it became normal to feel overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then life shifted quietly, without warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New people came in, not ahead of you,
not behind you, but beside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking with you. Choosing you.
Seeing you. And instead of feeling safe,
You felt afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afraid it wouldn\u2019t last.
Afraid you would mess it up.
Afraid they would leave
the moment things got hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because that\u2019s what you knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who stayed
only when it was easy.
People who left
when you needed them most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They disappeared in your storms
and returned in your sunshine,
as if nothing had changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And without realizing it,
You learned to fear love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not loudly. Not obviously.
But quietly, in the way you doubted good things,
in the way you held back, in the way you waited
for the other shoe to drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until you met something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Real care. Real presence. Real people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The kind that don\u2019t make you chase them.
The kind that doesn\u2019t disappear
when life gets heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The kind that choose you on purpose,
not out of convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It didn\u2019t feel normal at first.
It felt uncertain,
almost too good to trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But slowly, you began to see it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not everything is a setup.
Not everyone is temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people stay. Some people mean it
When they say they care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And maybe that\u2019s what growth looks like,
learning to accept love
without fear, rewriting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding that seasons change.
That’s not everyone you meet
is meant to hurt you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that one day, in your own time,
You will find people
who choose you
without hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not halfway. Not sometimes. But fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when that happens, you\u2019ll realize,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You were always worth choosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
