I Don’t Chase. I Choose.

I used to think attraction was about effort.👉 That if you showed someone enough kindness, patience, and interest, they’d see your worth.👉 That if you were available, they’d appreciate it.👉 That if you pursued with the right mix of charm and persistence, it would pay off.I was wrong.Attraction doesn’t work that way. Effort doesn’t create desire.I don’t chase anymore. I don’t convince. And I’m not going to entertain someone who needs to “think about it.”If someone is genuinely interested, they will let me know.And if they’re not sure, that’s already an answer.I won’t spend another second trying to prove my value.Because the right person won’t need proof. They’ll just know.I am no longer in the business of convincing people to see me.If you hesitate, I walk. If you waver, I’m gone. If you can’t tell what’s in front of you, you don’t deserve to hold it.And that’s not ego. That’s self-respect.I’ve wasted enough time giving people the benefit of the doubt.Now, I’m putting myself first. Talk is CHEAP. I’m watching your actions. I’m raising my standards.I won’t accept an unhealthy relationship.I won’t consider a relationship wherein I am not a top priority.I won’t accept emotionally unavailable people.I won’t accept lies.I won’t accept violence in any form.I won’t accept someone who treats me like I'm invisible.Never again.Until next time,AntonDancer, Writer, BuddhistThanks for reading Permission to be Powerful!
