A few nights ago, right cheek smooshed against his muscular chest, arms around his waist, I heard it: “I like that you’re so low maintenance.”
“Say more.”
“It’s so easy to be with you. You appreciate the small things. You say I’ve given so much, & I feel like I haven’t given much. It’s easy to make you happy.”
Tears lined my eyes. I thought – this is what I’ve always wanted to hear. He gets me. I’ve always felt this way about myself.ย
“Thank you for seeing me. That hasn’t always been the case,” I said as I squeezed him tight.
I relaxed more deeply into his presence, feeling cherished, witnessed, honored.
This wasย ๐๐๐๐๐ the case in the past. “Too much. Intense. What’s wrong with you? I can’t make you happy. Why you trippin’?” was the norm from men I’ve dated.

~ I berated myself; therefore, I received the same energy from my dates.
~I didn’t understand how to vet a man. I chose insecure men who came on hard and fast, then chose them in a rush because they were right in front of me.ย
~I didn’t get how to care for my own emotions and heart, so I met men who were also inexperienced in handling my heart with care.
~I didn’t know how to communicate my feelings and desires in a way a man could hear. I dated men who matched my inability to be vulnerable.
When I did begin trusting myself, I still met all types of men. I heard all the things I used to hear.
The only difference? I now stood on solid ground, recognizing flags, knowing when to walk because I was clear and consistent in myself and my destination.ย ย

Emotional attachments were secondary. Iย ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ with the insecure, abusive, lost types.
My man reflects how fiercely I chose to and continue to choose to love myself in all my mess.
This is dynamic – never set in stone.ย The minute I put everything on him & stop caring deeply for myself, he will FEEL it, and our polarities will shift. He instinctively is less adoring because he unconsciously senses
my attempts to siphon energy from him…
Our romantic relationships are sacred. Each and every one of them is reflecting an aspect of your relationship with you.ย You’re receiving your energetic match, regardless of your thoughts and emotions on it.ย
When you’re looking for a ready NOW partner, you’re looking for a certain caliber of human.ย
