i've realized all i truly want is someone who loves me the way i love them. and then it hit me. my love language isn't physical touch, it's reciprocity. i want someone who gives the same care, effort, and attention that i give without making it feel like i'm asking for too much. it's knowing the love i give is returned, not ignored. it's feeling seen, valued, and chosen in the same way i choose them. i don't want to beg for the bare minimum. i just want a love where the effort flows both ways, naturally, and without hesitation.
