No More Discounts on My Love.

A Relational Manifesto

I’ve been giving out discounts on my love my whole life.

Sometimes I gave the bottom-of-the-barrel price to people who hadn’t earned it—
people who simply showed up and seemed interested,
people who didn’t know how to hold what I offered,
people who took, and took, and never turned around to say thank you.

I told myself it was generosity.
That I was loving unconditionally.
That I was being kind, open, available.

But really—

I was afraid of being alone.
I was hungry to be chosen.
I was scared that if I charged full price, no one would pay it.

So I kept lowering the cost.

I bent my boundaries.
Softened my needs.
Swallowed my truths.

And called it love.

But no more.

My love is not for sale.
My love is sacred.

My love is for the courageous—
for those who come clean,
who show up,
who stay steady.

From now on:

💎 I set the price at truth.
💎 I set the standard at integrity.
💎 I hold the line with honor.

I don’t discount my love anymore.

Not for history.
Not for chemistry.
Not for potential.
Not for promises.

If you want it,
rise to meet it.
