Most people confuse love with attention.
They chase eyes, not hearts.
They crave company, not connection.
They trade depth for validation.

To be truly loved, you must first hold the standard inside yourself.
Not by begging for it, but by embodying it.
Love does not arrive as charity, it arrives as recognition.
And when it sees you whole, it cannot mistake you for less.

The throne doesn’t settle, and neither should you.❤️
