It is not always easy to understand what exactly you want from a relationship, especially when there are so many different stories and expectations around.

I have long noticed that a real connection is when you do not constantly have to prove something to yourself or to another. When you do not need to look for a catch or be afraid that feelings are just a habit. Sometimes it seems that people are afraid to admit: "I feel good like this, but it is not love." And then they stay close simply because it is more familiar, easier, and not because the heart truly beats faster. 💭

Being alone is not about emptiness. It is about the space in which you can understand what you really want and who you want next to you. It is about the ability to value yourself, even if no one around you compliments you or gives you gifts. Sometimes I think that it is this space that helps not to lose yourself, not to dissolve in other people's expectations. ✨

Honesty is very important in relationships - not only with your partner, but above all with yourself. It is not always easy to admit that something is wrong, or that the feelings are not as you would like. But this is not weakness, but strength - to be able to stop and say to yourself: "I need to understand what is really important to me." Sometimes being with someone means stopping asking "Why doesn't he write?" and starting to listen to what your soul is really telling you.

I understand more and more that you should not be afraid of loneliness. It is not an enemy, but an ally that helps to cleanse yourself of the unnecessary and prepare for something real. And real is not when it is perfect, but when it is easy. When there is a person next to you with whom you do not need to pretend or prove anything, but just be yourself. 😊

I wonder how you are with this? Is there confidence inside that relationships are about calm and trust, and not about fighting doubts? Or maybe fire and passion, which sometimes make you doubt, are more important to you? I just want to understand how it feels for another person - it's always different.

These are my thoughts today. And to be honest, sometimes I just want to talk about it - not look for answers, but just hear that someone else is also thinking about what is really important.
