You choose what you want
You get to choose what you deserve
You choose to write this story.
If one says to you "You have too high of expectations" smile and know that you have made it.
You are entitled to the choice of deciding if someone is for you or not. And if not, you have earned the right to say "No, I'm sorry, I'm looking for something different."
But when you choose to wait for more, your walk may be a quiet one. But do not let anyone tell you that quiet is bad. Because with the silence you are growing within yourself, becoming stronger without the dependency of another. It is no longer "cool" or "in" to be alone. Some people just want the cute Instagram pics, a person to bring to the party, and the person to cuddle them at the end of the night because it is not in fashion to sleep alone.
What do you get out of settling? The instant gratification of human contact, but what about these long term qualities that we should yearn for when choosing a partner? The qualities that have to do with the soul, integrity, and morality or a person rather than the physical surface level that people with the naked eye thrive on.
We as human crave physical contact, emotional investment of another human, but do we know when we are getting it from the wrong person? Are we aware and clear minded enough to realize that someone is not good for us? Yes, we are aware, completely aware of what is going on but we have pitched camp in the state of comfortability.
"Starting over with someone else is so much work."
"I already know everything about this person."
We know what we have signed up for, but we have forgotten that he have the capability to step away. When we choose to live in a state of fear of being alone, we have neglected ourselves of growth within us. When the fear cripples you of moving forward you are neglecting yourself of finding a person that fits you, and you are neglecting your partner of the truth that you are not happy in the relationship that you are in.
There are things that are important to you that others have never thought of. But that does not make you out of this world or your expectations too high. It makes you different and unique to yourself. Do not sell yourself short of the things that are important to you.
The first person to give you attention does not mean you have met your soul mate.
See yourself as unique, see yourself as so rare that not everyone was created to enter the inner parts of your hopes, dreams, and body.
You have to be inlove with you before anyone else is capable of loving you in return.
Walk alone, go out to eat alone, take yourself out on a date.
And realize that you deserve more than the everyday thing that walks around the corner.
