When Every Moment With Them Feels Like You’re Convincing Them To Stay.
Why chase after someone who doesn’t see your worth, when you’re deserving of love.
Have you ever stopped to think why we sometimes find ourselves running after people who treat us like we’re not enough? Why we pour our hearts into relationships that drain us, instead of fill us? Why we hold onto those who are only holding us back?
Maybe you’re there right now, caught up in a relationship where you feel more like an option than a priority. Where the other person barely gives any effort, where every moment with them feels like you’re convincing them to stay. They act like they’re doing you a favour by simply being with you. They think you don’t deserve them, when in fact, it’s they who don’t deserve you.
And what’s the result of this? Over time, it wears you down. You start questioning your worth, your value. You wonder if maybe you really aren’t good enough. It’s like pouring water into a cup with a hole in the bottom—no matter how much love, care, and energy you give, it just drains away, leaving you empty.
This kind of relationship can shatter your self-esteem. It makes you feel useless, like you have nothing to offer. It distracts you from your goals, from your dreams. Because how can you focus on building your future when your present is a storm of uncertainty? You’re constantly walking on eggshells, wondering if today will be the day they leave. You spend so much time and energy trying to stabilize the relationship that you lose sight of your purpose, or the things that once gave you joy.
But here’s the truth, and I want you to let this sink in: You deserve better.
You deserve someone who sees your worth without you having to prove it. Someone who gives as much as they receive. Someone who stands beside you, not as a favor, but because they truly value you. You deserve a relationship where you can grow, and become the best version of yourself—not one that chains you to doubt and insecurity.
When you hold onto the wrong person, you block the right one from coming into your life. Imagine if you let go of that toxic relationship. Imagine the doors that would open, the new opportunities for love, growth, and happiness. Imagine being with someone who supports your dreams, who makes you feel like you can conquer the world. That’s the kind of love you’re worthy of.
And here’s something powerful: when you stop chasing after those who don’t see your value, you start to value yourself more. You reclaim your energy, your time, your heart. You start focusing on your purpose again, on your growth. You begin to shine so brightly that the right people can’t help but notice.
Look around you. The world is full of possibilities. Full of people who will cherish you for who you are. Full of opportunities to grow, to succeed, to love deeply and be loved deeply in return.
So, my friends, stop running after those who don’t want you. Stop settling for half-hearted love. You are more than enough, and you deserve a love that reflects that truth. Free yourself from the chains of a toxic relationship, and step into a future where you are valued, where your dreams matter, and where you can truly flourish.
Remember this: You’re not just good enough—you’re exceptional. And the moment you start believing that, the world will too.
