| ARE YOU BEING LOVED THE WAY THAT YOU DESERVE TO BE?
That can be such a difficult question to answer,
after all, how do we know what we actually deserve
when we've spent our whole life feeling judged and criticized by others?
One thing is certain though—
you deserve the kind of love that you give.
The problem that so many run into
is being in a relationship where they are the one that
loves more and gives more,
which tips the balance and gives the partner that loves
less more control of the relationship
by being able to withhold love
and approval or even by punishing them
when they don't get what they want.
That's not love,
that's emotional blackmail
and can cause you to question
whether you're deserving of love at all.
When a person truly loves you,
they won't use your love for them as leverage
to try to control or manipulate you,
they will want to give you the very best of themselves
and their love because they know that you
deserve no less than that.
In fact, you'll know how much a person loves you
by the courage they show in being vulnerable with you,
by the way they look for the good in you
and how much of themselves
that they invest into the relationship and you.
We give priority to what we really love.
No matter how anyone has ever made you feel,
your heart knows the love you deserve,
listen to it.
