Love is a gift, not a transaction.
No matter how much you give, you can’t force someone to love you in return.
It’s tempting to believe that if you just try harder, give more, or pour all of yourself into the relationship, they’ll see your worth. But love doesn’t work that way. It’s not about effort; it’s about mutual connection.
If you find yourself giving everything while receiving little in return, pause. Reflect. Love should fill you, not leave you feeling empty or questioning your value.
Their lack of love doesn’t mean you’re unworthy — it just means their journey isn’t aligned with yours. You deserve love that feels like a partnership, not a one-sided struggle.
Letting go of unreciprocated love is an act of self-respect. It’s a way of making space for someone who will love you for who you are, without conditions or effort.
Love yourself enough to walk away from what isn’t meant for you. Save your love for someone who chooses you wholeheartedly, just as you are.
