Feed The Flame
Let me tell you something about being an introvert: just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I’m cool to the touch. In fact, I’m burning. Deep down, there’s a fire—a slow burn that you can feel if you take the time to notice. That’s the thing with me: I don’t need to be the loudest in the room to command attention. My fire speaks for itself.
You deserve to be loved and cherished. That’s the first thing I had to learn for myself. It doesn’t matter if you’re introverted or reserved, you are worthy of the type of love that sets your soul on fire. I used to think I had to shrink myself, play it small because I wasn’t out there like everyone else. But here’s the truth: you’ve done hard things, and you’ve come out on top every single time. That strength? It’s part of your fire, and it’s why you deserve every bit of love and respect that comes your way.
Let’s be real: texts are bare minimum effort. If someone isn’t showing up fully, they’re not fanning your flames—they’re just playing with sparks. No. Body. Is. Too. Busy for what they care about, and if they care about you, they’ll show up. They’ll put in the effort because, let’s be honest, you’re worth it. The same way you pour your quiet energy into the things and people that matter, they should do the same for you.
I had to remind myself of this: effort reflects interest. I can’t love someone into loving me, and you shouldn’t have to either. You’re not here to chase; you’re here to be appreciated for the unique fire you bring. And that’s where the magic happens—redirection is rescue. Sometimes, when people fade away, it’s not because you’re too much or not enough. It’s because they weren’t meant to walk with you through your flames. And that’s okay.
Here’s the good news: you are forever worthy. The right people? They’ll see your fire and never try to dim it. They’ll bring logs to keep it burning, not water to put it out. Because you always find a way, don’t you? You always rise, even from the ashes, and that strength is what makes you so powerful, so magnetic, so unforgettable.
You don’t have to confuse attention with love. Actions speak louder than words. And for someone like me, for someone like you, it’s the quiet actions that matter. The steady effort. The emotional availability. That’s the non-negotiable. You don’t need to chase a soulmate—what’s for you will come to you, and when it does, it will treat you sacred. Because that’s what you are.
You’re stronger than you think. Even when you’re resting, recharging your fire, you’re still glowing. Don’t ever forget that. The world needs your uniqueness, your fire, your quiet strength. You don’t need to be loud to make an impact. Your fire doesn’t need to roar for it to be felt.
So here’s my advice: never settle for less than the love and respect you deserve. Keep your fire burning, and only let in those who are ready to walk through the flames with you.
