Never beg for love or friendship. If someone truly values you, you won't have to chase them, convince them, or remind them to treat you with respect. Real connection doesn't require you to overextend yourself just to be seen. When you're pouring in everything and receiving nothing back, that's not love - it's self-abandonment. Walk away from anyone who makes you feel optional. The right people won't need instructions on how to show up for you... they'll naturally meet you with the same energy you give.
