On days when the world seems busy celebrating love and you feel like you were somehow left out of the invitation, remember that your worth has never depended on a date circled on a calendar. You might watch others receive affection so easily and wonder what is wrong with you, why your hands still feel empty. But honestly, life is not fair in how it distributes timing, and love is not handed out like prizes to the most deserving. Some meet it early, some meet it late, and some spend long seasons learning how to stand on their own first. That waiting is not punishment, even if it feels like it. It is shaping you quietly, teaching you strength without bitterness and how to build a life that is full even before someone else walks into it. So if today feels quiet, don't deny the ache, but don't decide it means you are unlovable. Keep showing up for your own life. Eat well. Work hard. Rest when you must. Build something steady, so that when love finally arrives, it is not there to rescue you, but to walk beside you. What feels like waiting now may one day feel like perfect timing, when everything arrives gently and makes sense at last.
