We all want love… until it actually shows up and suddenly we’re questioning everything

Relationships involve more than just dates, scheduled Instagram posts, and a consistent text partner. At its core, a relationship is a partnership. It's choosing someone who improves your quality of life, supports your growth, honors your limits, and eases your bad days. Healthy relationships are built on friendship, trust, communication, and effort rather than just chemistry.

How do we know we are ready for one?

• Someone trying to "fix" you is not what you desire.

• You are comfortable being by yourself and don't require attention.

• You know what your standards and boundaries are.

• You've either overcome your history or are working on it.

• You want company, not just acceptance.

Sometimes we think we’re ready for love when really, we’re just lonely but being single isn’t a waiting room t’s where the growth happens.
