When You're Treated Like a Paperweight Instead of a Diamond
What if the love you've been desperately searching for has been inside you all along? Most of us spend our entire lives chasing love like it's hidden treasure, scrolling through dating apps at 2 AM, analyzing text message response times, or molding ourselves into whatever shape we think will finally make us lovable. We've been sold a fairy tale ending that doesn't exist, convinced that happiness lives just beyond the next relationship, promotion, or Instagram milestone. But here's the truth nobody wants to hear: you're not unlovable because you haven't found "the one." You're struggling because you've been looking in all the wrong places. Love isn't something you find-it's something you already are. This isn't another self-help cliche; it's a fundamental shift in how we understand connection itself. When we stop treating ourselves like paperweights and start recognizing our inherent worth as diamonds, everything changes.
