You’re Not Asking for Too Much

You’re not asking for too much.

You’re asking for consistency.
Effort.
Honesty.

You’re asking for someone to show up the way you do.

And that’s not unreasonable.

But when someone can’t meet you there…
it can start to feel like maybe you are too much.

Like, maybe you need to ask for less.
Be quieter.
Need less.

But the truth is…

You’re not asking for too much.
You’re just asking the wrong person.

The right people won’t make you feel like your needs are overwhelming.
They won’t make you question your worth.

They’ll meet you where you are.
They’ll show up.
And it won’t feel like something you have to beg for.

You don’t have to shrink to be loved well.

Pour your coffee, stay awhile.
