Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.
Maya Angelou
It’s crucial to recognize and value your own worth, especially in relationships where the balance of investment and appreciation might seem skewed. Investing deeply in those who do not reciprocate can lead to a path of emotional exhaustion and disappointment. Instead, focus on surrounding yourself with people who value you as much as you value them. This approach not only fosters relationships built on mutual respect and appreciation but also enhances your self-esteem and emotional well-being. Prioritize your emotional investment wisely, ensuring that it is placed where it is both valued and returned in kind.
