I hope you fall in love when you're ready—not when you're lonely. There's a quiet difference between needing connection and being prepared to nurture it. Loneliness can whisper convincing stories, making us crave companionship just to fill a void. But love built on loneliness often asks someone else to fix what only we can heal ourselves. It can lead to rushed attachments and misplaced expectations, where we confuse comfort for compatibility. Readiness, on the other hand, comes from a place of peace. It means you've taken the time to understand yourself, to grow, to learn what you truly need and what you’re able to give. When you're ready, love becomes a choice, not a rescue. It’s not about filling an emptiness—it’s about sharing your wholeness. So wait for the kind of love that meets you in your strength, not your solitude. You deserve a connection that complements your life, not compensates for it.
