“Sometimes we look at another person’s life and think, ‘I could never,’ but the truth is, we ALL have different priorities. What matters to me, may not matter to you.” —Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist
Honesty moment…. Seeing people live their “best life” while in miserable relationships (simply because they’ve got that two person income), sometimes makes me feel like a fool for thinking they deserve better. Based on their priorities, that life is satisfactory for them.
I want more, though.
————–
I want extraordinary. I want love that matches what I give. I want reciprocity. I want more smiles that sad days. I want friendship. I want romance and dates and shared interests. I want what so many believe you can’t get all in one person. But I don’t believe it’s outrageous BECAUSE I EXIST and I want someone who loves like me. I think it’s logical to believe that in billions of people on this Earth, there’s at least one other person who wants the same because they are the same.
And what a beautiful, magical life we’ll have together, sharing our in common loves, while sharing the aspects of us that are different. How magical can that life be that we get to teach each other, and learn from each other, and share our commonalities.
I love that thought. I don’t have to limit myself by what others believe is possible. Our lives are based on what WE each believe is possible and can happen for us. So I’m choosing to believe I don’t have to settle. I get to have beautiful, romantic, true love. I get to give fully of myself to someone who cherishes my heart and I get to do the same for him. I choose to believe that what others feel is impossible is fully possible for me and that at the exact right time we’ll meet. I get to let having nothing less than that be a priority for me. Others can choose to have according to their beliefs.
I don’t have to settle. AND I don’t have to look at what you have as settling. I can respect your priorities. That’s mature. I can respect what you value. That’s growth. I can let you love what you love, and I love what I love and not feel what you choose or what I choose is superior, or inferior.
Do what works for you. I’ll do what works for me. And I’m grateful that I got this opportunity to process through this and realize that neither of us are settling. We’re prioritizing. And it’s all okay.
———-
I’m grateful I get a second chance. This time I will choose, rather than be chosen. I will observe, rather than ignore. 🚩🚩🚩 I will move forward into the obvious presence of love, rather than stumble in blindly out of a sense of fear. I’ve survived alone so that doesn’t scare me anymore. I love myself so much more, now. My standard is rising as I grow and learn.
I want and deserve love that feels like love. And, honestly, so do you. 💞
