You don't need to chase what's yours. And every time you do, you're abandoning yourself to prove you're worth it. You don't need to overexplain, overgive overextend, to be chosen. That's the version of you that's learned she needs to work to be chosen. But you don't need to convince what's for you that it's for you. You don't need to earn belonging. You belong, but which rooms are you trying to belong in? Choose spaces that choose you. When you move from the energy of "I don't need you to pick me." You move in confidence, in security, in alignment.
