Welcome back to Positively Yours. 💌

This episode feels tender, because it’s about a loneliness so many of us know but rarely admit out loud — the loneliness of wanting to be chosen without asking.

Because deep down, isn’t that what we all want? To be remembered without reminders. To be loved without begging for it. To be someone’s first thought, not their backup plan.

And yet, so many of us find ourselves giving endlessly — remembering the little things, checking in, showing up — while quietly aching for someone to do the same for us. To choose us freely, without hesitation, without us having to ask.

In this episode, I talk about the quiet ache of one-sided effort, the invisible weight of emotional labor, and the way our self-worth often gets tangled up in whether or not others choose us. I share my own reflections and truths, and also the lessons I’ve learned the hard way:

✨ That you cannot teach someone how to choose you.

✨ That attention is not the same as love.

✨ That letting go of those who don’t choose you is sometimes the kindest thing you can do for yourself.

✨ That choosing yourself is not selfish, it’s survival.

We’ll explore the masks we wear when we don’t feel chosen, the questions that keep us up at night (Am I too much? Am I not enough?), and the healing that begins the moment we realize our worth isn’t defined by someone else’s silence.

Because here’s the truth: wanting to be chosen is not weakness. It’s the most human thing in the world. The loneliness comes when we keep waiting to be chosen by the wrong people.

So this episode is both a reminder and an invitation — to feel the ache, to admit it honestly, but also to begin choosing yourself in small ways every day. Because when you do, you create space for the ones who will choose you freely, without hesitation, without reminders.

If you’ve ever carried this kind of loneliness, I want this conversation to remind you that you are not alone. That you deserve a love, a friendship, a presence that chooses you naturally — not because you asked, but because you are worth choosing. Always.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening and holding space with me. Season 2 has only just begun, and together we’ll keep talking about the things that feel heavy, but necessary. Messy, but real.
