To all the romantics and beyond, so many people wonder if the person they’re with is the right one. If there is anything better waiting out there, how to fix and mend the other, how to improve their ways, how to make it right for both, why the other acts the way they do, why they have those unhealthy and perhaps hurtful habits. And honestly? Don’t waste time fretting over these questions, fighting with yourself over whether it’s the right one or not.
The truth is, you will know. When you find the right person, you will know. It will be like a wash of calm and relief and stillness and peace, against all the storms you have known, all you’ve known until then. It will be like the Sun coming out of the clouds and remembering how to feel alive again, like carefree golden-hour Sunday morning vibes all the time. It will be hours rushing by for what felt like exhilarating minutes. It will feel like an awakening, soul-healing, heart-mending sort of love, like having your eyes open for the first time in years or having a switch flipped on inside that left you numb and deadened before, and now leaves you wondering how you were ever able to carry around so much emptiness being emotionally cut off. You’ll never have to question if they really love you, or care about you, or are committed 100% to you. You will know they are.
All you have to do is decide whether you’ll settle for anything less. Because you always deserve the best. And settling means you’re neither allowing space for what you deserve, nor letting yourself grow and bloom alone from the freedom of making yourself number one.
