Happy birthday to this pookie owner 🎀 Ani 💅

ָ֢֢• 🧸🤍 I think one of the quietest struggles a lot of men carry is wondering whether someone will ever genuinely choose them. Not because they are the most successful, attractive, or the person who can offer the most, but simply because of who they are. After being rejected enough times, something begins to change. You stop approaching love with excitement and start approaching it with doubt. You wonder whether you are good enough, whether someone will ever look at you and think, 'I don't need to find someone better. I just want him.' Perhaps the saddest part is what happens when that person finally comes around. When someone is consistent, affectionate, and genuinely wants to build something with you, you almost struggle to believe it. You keep waiting for the moment they change their mind. You find it difficult to accept that you don't have to compete for their affection. Because repeated rejection can make a man feel like he's always auditioning for a place in someone's life. I hope every man who has ever felt replaceable gets to experience a love where he can finally put down the weight of having to prove his worthiness. 𓏲 𓈈 ֹ
