Dear Future me, The Love I’m Waiting For I want a love that begins in friendship where we laugh first, share stories, and feel safe just being ourselves. It can start with a spark, a smile, a quiet kind of attraction— but it grows slowly, naturally, without rushing. I don’t want to be pursued just because I’m wanted. I want to be known. I want to be seen for all the soft and messy parts of me, and loved anyway. This love is kind. It’s supportive. It’s patient, not perfect. We take our time getting to know each other, inviting each other in. It’s not built on pressure, but on presence. Not on fantasy, but on real connection. That’s the love I’m waiting for. And I believe it’s worth the wait. -L
