Stop settling for people who don’t know how to be mature in a relationship!
You deserve someone who can bring a level of maturity to the table!
Someone who can actually demonstrate that they’re a safe space.
Someone who doesn’t shut down when things get hard.
Someone who can communicate rather than play mind games.
Someone who doesn’t let their ego ruin something that might actually be good for them.
Because let’s be honest; love isn’t just about the butterflies in the beginning, it’s about how someone shows up once the butterflies settle.
It’s about emotional depth, consistency, and their maturity in how they handle you during the hardest times.
Love should feel safe, not somewhere where you’re constantly wondering if someone will do the right thing, or where you’re constantly having to prove your worth.
You deserve someone who listens to understand, not just to respond.
You deserve someone who apologises when they’re wrong, instead of making excuses or blaming you.
You deserve someone who can express their emotions honestly and without blame, because they value working through what needs to be worked through.
You deserve someone who supports your growth, instead of feeling threatened by it.
And you deserve someone who makes an effort to make you feel like they’ve chosen you every single day, not just when it’s convenient.
Too many people lack the emotional maturity to be a part of a long term healthy relationship, simply because they value their ego more than the person who loves them.
Real love isn’t about mind games, mixed signals, or constant uncertainty.
It’s about feeling safe, seen, and chosen every single day.
Showing emotional maturity at the end of the day, is really all about respect!
Please always remember that the a mature person who is deserving of your heart will never make you chase them, question your worth, or leave you begging for them for the bare minimum.
They’ll show up, and they’ll communicate, and love you in a way that brings peace and safety, not confusion.
Because when love is real, it brings clarity, not chaos.
And it should always feel safe and secure, not like another ferocious storm that you have to try and survive…
