When you were less, nobody settled for you, so why do you want to settle for less?
Isn't pathetic to know that people of late, are now very comfortable with bare minimum.
Especially in relationships and friendships. Love, respect, reciprocity are just bare minimum. They are served on a genuine table of love and friendship.
Isn't it sad to know that people take it as a plus that there partners actually call them everyday. Hold on.. How do you say you love a person when you don't communicate with them on a daily? I know everyone is busy, but in all honesty, everyone makes out time for things and people that matter to them.
Even in the busiest days, I find myself thinking about my loved ones and it takes less than a minute to send them a very short message, reminding them they mean a lot to me. So anyone who's too excited that there partner actually cares, and doing something extra ordinary is just settling for bare minimum.
Trust is another bare minimum, you don't need to force it. Because your partner trust you, doesn't mean they are doing something extra, it's part of the relationship code.
I know, some people have been in toxic relationships where these things now feel like the other person is doing them a favor. And, fear of being alone again, makes people settle for less. They just want to be tagged as a person who is in a relationship, so they prioritize that, over their actual well-being.
It's a reminder to know your worth, and also figure out that you deserve better. "There's love at home." Where you have to force people to do the things they should actually be doing, is you settling for the bare minimums.
Figure out yourself first, what you deserve and choose someone who's willing to do them for you effortlessly. Heal first, from your past relationships, especially from the one that left you broken, feeling worthless or small.
When you heal, you see better, you know better and you attract better.
No doubt, some people go extra miles to show you how much you mean to them, that shouldn't go unnoticed.
Appreciate people who takes initiative to meet your needs (emotional or otherwise) without being asked.
People that support your goals and push you beyond your limitations, people who root for you, wanna see you win all the time, makes effort to show you they appreciate you.
Effort is indeed sexy. Just make sure they are showing effort everyday and choosing you over and over again. Don't take for granted, people who make you feel safe around them and whatever you do, never settle for bare minimum.

This is just the facts girl. You nailed it real good.
I'm tired if being counsellor to so many ladies in toxic relationship who think that they can't have something better.
It wasn't meant to be like this from the start. The creator who instituteted relationships wants us happy and well not sad and clinging to bare minimum.
Yes, we deserve better always.
I was once guilty of this and Iβm actually still guilty of it. Most times I find myself begging for the things I want as a person even when I know that Iβm worth more than that and the truth is I fear Iβm settling for less and I feel like Iβm at the point when I canβt go back and I just have to keep settling for less but then, Iβm hoping I figure out a way to get myself out of that place of always begging for the things I want even when I shouldnβt.

You're welcome, Amie.
This is such an important reminder that never settle for less than you deserve. π· Effort, care, and respect should be natural, not optional.
You got the point. Thanks for stopping by
