Daily Ramble: Knowing Your Own Self-Worth (Especially in Relationships)

It’s easy to forget your worth when your heart’s involved. When you care about someone, you want to believe the best in them. You give the benefit of the doubt, make excuses, overlook red flags, and convince yourself they’re just “busy.” But here’s the truth—and it’s something I’ve had to learn (sometimes the hard way): no one is ever too busy to reach out to someone they genuinely care about.

Let’s just say it louder—inconsistency is a choice. And you don’t have to stick around hoping it’ll magically turn into something more. If someone is hot and cold, if they’re not making an effort, if you constantly feel like an afterthought... you have every right to walk away.

Knowing your self-worth means you stop settling for breadcrumbs when you deserve the whole damn bakery. It means you stop romanticizing someone’s potential and start paying attention to their patterns. If they wanted to show up, they would. It's not just a cute quote—it’s a reality check.

I get it—it’s not easy. Walking away from someone you care about can feel like the hardest thing in the world. But your peace, your heart, and your energy are too valuable to waste on someone who doesn’t treat you with the respect, consistency, and care you deserve.

Someone who truly values you will show up. Consistently. With intention. With clarity. You won’t be left guessing. You won’t feel like you’re constantly trying to prove your worth or earn their attention. You won’t be stuck in a cycle of overthinking and second-guessing.

So here’s your reminder today: you don’t have to beg for love, effort, or emotional availability. You are worthy of a connection that feels secure, not confusing. One that meets you in the middle, not one that keeps you on edge. And if someone isn’t making you a priority? Make yourself one—and walk away knowing exactly who you are.

You are enough. And the right relationship will never make you question that.
