“You don’t have to perform to be worthy of real love.”
It’s tempting to hide behind charm, competence, or caretaking.
To prove yourself by being useful, funny, impressive, attractive.
But every time you perform, you abandon the part of you that simply longs to be seen.
Aligned love doesn’t ask for a costume. It asks for presence.
Let go of the character. The one who’s meant for you will applaud your truth, not your effort.
Place your palms face-up. Say: 'I no longer perform for love. I simply receive it.'
Catch yourself mid-performance today — and gently stop. Let the real you speak.
Talia D. “I always tried to be likable. It wasn’t until I was finally real that someone actually stayed.”
Love that requires performance isn’t love — it’s an audition.
