Listen here, it’s time to cut through the noise and lay down some hard truths. When it comes to love, you can’t afford to be naive. Love, real love, is about action, not words. Forget what you see in movies or hear in songs. Real life is a whole different game.
First off, if someone truly loves you, they invest in you. I’m talking time, energy, and yes, sometimes even money. They’re there for you, pushing you to be your best self, standing by your side through the good, bad, and the ugly. They fight for the relationship, even when things get tough. It’s not about grand gestures on Valentine’s Day; it’s the everyday actions that count. Are they making sacrifices for you? Are they prioritizing your needs alongside their own? That’s love.
On the flip side, if you’re just a placeholder, you’ll feel it. If they’re always looking over your shoulder at the next best thing, if plans are consistently vague, if future talks are avoided or met with non-committal responses, red flags should be waving furiously in front of you. In a world full of options, it’s easy for some to keep one foot out the door, looking for an upgrade. Don’t be someone’s safety net. If they’re not locking it down with you, making it clear you’re the choice, not an option, then it’s time to reassess.
Communication is key. If you’re feeling uncertain, speak up. Don’t play games. You want answers, not riddles. And while you’re at it, watch their actions, not just their words. Words are cheap; actions are gold. How do they treat you when no one’s watching? Are you a priority or an afterthought?
And here’s the kicker—if you’re constantly questioning their feelings for you, that’s your answer. You shouldn’t have to convince someone to choose you. You’re not a trial subscription. You’re the full package, and if they can’t see that, their loss.
At the end of the day, love is about respect, support, and mutual growth. If you’re not growing together, you’re just passing time. Don’t settle for less, waiting for someone to realize your worth. Know your value and don’t be afraid to walk away from anything that doesn’t serve you. Love should make you feel empowered, not insecure.
So, wake up. Pay attention. Your time, energy, and heart are worth more than being someone’s “maybe.” Demand the love you give in return, and never accept being someone’s second choice. That’s how you know if someone truly loves you.
When it comes to love, you can't afford to be naive. Love, real love, is about action, not words. Forget what you see in movies or hear in songs. Real life is a whole different game.
