The older I get, the more I realize I donāt want anything surface level. I donāt want almost love, half love or situationships that leave you questioning where you stand. I want something real. I want depth. I want connection. I want peace.
I want the kind of love where someone feels like both your best friend and your safe place. Someone you can laugh with, be completely yourself with and just enjoy life beside. I want fun, lightness and realness. I want the kind of relationship where you can be silly, honest, vulnerable and still feel secure.
I donāt believe love means losing yourself. I think healthy love allows both people to still be their own person. You donāt have to like all the same things. You donāt have to spend every second together. You should have your own hobbies, your own passions and your own space to grow. Love should feel like freedom, not pressure.
What I donāt want is someone who only shows up when itās convenient. I donāt want empty words with no actions behind them. I donāt want someone who wants the attention, the pictures or the benefits of closeness without the commitment, respect or intention. That isnāt love. Thatās convenience.
At this stage of my life, I want something deeper. I want my person. Someone to build memories with, laugh with, travel with, sit on the porch with and just enjoy the simple parts of life with. I want real love, not confusion. Because when something is right, it shouldnāt feel like guessing. It should feel like peace. š¤
