You can want love without questioning your worth

Short answer: the want can stay. It does not have to cross-examine your worth while it stays.

Separate the want from the verdict

"You can want love without questioning your worth." Put the phone down for one song you already like. "I can want love and still talk to myself kindly." Say one kinder sentence out loud, once.

"Your life is still happening while you wait for love." Choose one small thing you want to do today. The small thing is not a consolation prize. It is the day you actually have.

If you are drafting a case

"You don't have to chase a maybe that shrinks you." Send nothing tonight that asks for proof. Wanting closeness is allowed. Using the night to collect evidence that you are enough is a different, heavier job. Leave that job.
