Maybe it’s not meant for good girls…

Loving someone is evidence of the uniqueness of the human experience. This work delves into the soul’s ability to communicate, sense, and compose sounds that reverberate across the ages. It is a call to embrace the profound beauty of shared existence, to taste every note, and to delight in the magic of the dance of love.

I admit that my goal for my thirty Medium piece was to talk about how I finally found “Mine,” or the love I deserve in return.

As is clear every year, I am concluding this year in a stupor, but unlike other years, I have had the opportunity to witness the beauty of being in love by looking into other people’s eyes and observing their facial expressions while the talk about whom they love.

I was enthralled with the most romantic tale last night; it was the kind that keeps you speechless, melts hearts, and makes you cry out, “God when.” My good friend is in love, and I’m happy for him; I could hear the fulfillment and happiness in his excitement, the sincerity in his laughter, and the butterflies in his stomach from a distance. Perhaps love isn’t meant for me. The universe was showering me with blessings, but he left out love, knowing the kind of love I deserve, I’ll never be able to experience it on earth.

Perhaps the universe isn’t finished, or perhaps this isn’t my season of love, or perhaps I haven’t learned enough to be ready for when love does come so that I can return the favor.

Seeking love in return is one thing, but understanding how to give love back is quite another. I frequently hear people use the love language algorithm to list all the different ways they would like to be loved and valued. However, what we frequently overlook is the fact that, We ought to be willing and prepared to give in the same way that we receive!

I’ve come to understand that while it’s nice to pursue the kind of love we all believe we deserve and would bring us the happiness we want, the real benefit of being loved is being able to express the same love you get.

Genuine love never fades. It transcends temporal limitations, developing and becoming more profound over the course of days. It’s a recognition that love is a dynamic energy that develops, matures, and endures hardships before emerging stronger and more resilient.

I’ve never been lucky enough to find my kind of love; I’ve always been the giver. I refused to set boundaries because I thought that love knew no bounds. As a result, I continued giving and being cheated out of all my happiness until there was nothing left to give. At that point, the “you are a good girl and I don’t deserve you” phase set in.

When it comes to love, waiting for the right person is a delicate dance involving self-discovery, hope, and the unwavering belief that something extraordinary is in store for you by destiny. It’s proof positive that when love finds you, it’s a symphony that profoundly resonates with the melody of two hearts perfectly in tune.

Being surrounded by people who are in love makes me happy, even though maybe it’s not meant for me.

So here is for all my friends in love, continue to be an inspiration to i your single friend, and I pray your love continue to wax strong so, my hope for the love I deserve, won’t be seen as a fantasy.

Sincerely,

The girl with the voice of a hummingbird
