You are worthy of love, regardless of whether you are in a relationship or not. Staying single is far better than being in a relationship that does not honor your uniqueness or bring you joy and happiness.
Research in mental health suggests that nurturing relationships can protect overall well-being, but being in the wrong one can have the opposite effect. It can drain our energy, lower our self-worth, and make us feel lonelier than being alone. Studies suggest that toxic relationships can lead to emotional distress, anxiety, and even long-term health consequences.
Yet, we often forget this. When we are single for a long time and see others happily in relationships, we may start to question ourselves, wondering:
"Why am I still single?"
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"Am I not attractive enough?"
"Am I lovable?"
And sometimes, in that search for love, we settle for relationships that do not truly value us. We stay in situations where we deserve more, yet we are constantly undervalued, unappreciated, or even hurt. In such cases, staying in the relationship does more harm than good. But here is the truth: Your worth is not defined by your relationship status. You are just as worthy, lovable, and whole whether you are in a relationship or not. Love should uplift, honor, and celebrate who you are, not make you question your value.
The right relationship is like icing on the cake. It makes life sweeter, but the cake itself is already complete. You are the cake. You are already enough. Without icing, the cake is still delicious and fulfilling. The right person will enhance your joy, not be the sole source of it.
So instead of seeking love to feel complete, recognize that you are already whole. Love yourself first, and let the right relationship be a beautiful addition, not a necessity. Choose love that honors you. And if that love is the love you give to yourself for now, let it be more than enough.
