Love is unconditional, right?

You want to believe so badly in unconditional (romantic) love that you make yourself smaller in the process. You suppress your needs and feelings. You doubt yourself.

Are you good enough? Are you asking for too much?

You see the potential of the partner and the relationship. You push yourself against the wall, make yourself smaller, get down on your knees. It doesn't feel right. But.. You believe in unconditional love, so you can't 'give up' now, can you? You have to show and prove that it exists.

And so you keep suppressing, doubting, hoping, pulling and pushing. or you turn your belief into this: self-love is unconditional.

You love yourself, know yourself, trust yourself. You can meet your own needs and you contribute to the relationship. You know the difference between a healthy and unhealthy relationship, or one that’s out of balance. You don’t start a relationship where you expect the other to change before you will be satisfied. You don’t fall for potential. You can communicate about your boundaries and needs. You can say no. You can trust. You feel seen and heard by yourself first and foremost! Know you are not alone in this process. `

I wish you lots of self-love.
