You deserve a partner that gives of themselves.

You are deserving of love.

You deserve someone who smiles at you when you get home from work or a business trip or even the grocery store.

You deserve someone who holds the door for you and says please and thank you.

You deserve someone who listens to you, truly listens to you, not distracted by their phone, and not too busy to pick up when you call.

You deserve someone who laughs at your jokes and rubs your back. You love having your back tickled.

You deserve someone who will give you space when you need it.

You deserve someone who shows up on time and calls when running behind.

You deserve someone with integrity and a calm demeanor. Leave those angry people behind. It is not your job to change them.

You are so deserving of someone who respects your body no matter the size or shape.

You deserve someone who loves you with make-up and without. Someone who loves you in a bikini or in sweats.

You deserve someone with realistic expectations. Someone who treats you with understanding, empathy, and kindness.

You deserve someone gentle and loving. Someone who is one step ahead of you and cares about your needs, goals, and desires.

You deserve a partner. You deserve to sit back and put your feet up every once in a while. Someone who will draw you a bath and pour your favorite cup of tea and ask you to relax while they take care of everything else.

You are deserving of someone who is flexible and not rigid, they can go with the flow and are not selfish or egotistical. They don’t get jealous and you can trust one another.

You deserve someone who wants to check in with you. They care about how you are, truly.

You deserve more than a bootie call or a half-connection. You deserve it all.

You deserve someone who gives you butterflies and makes you feel beautiful. Someone who lightens your load. Someone you look forward to seeing at the end of a hard day. Someone whose arms you can melt into.

Please stop taking less than the best. You deserve only the best. Trust me when I say...

Baby, you are worth it.
