Babe, you are not a Maybe.

Let’s be clear about one thing: your worth is not up for debate.
You are one of a kind. You are you. And you are most definitely not a maybe.

We’ve all met people who have treated us like an option—someone they keep around “just in case.” They second-guess whether they want to give us a place in their life, throwing out words like “maybe” when it comes to commitment, effort, or even basic respect.

But here’s the truth: you do not deserve to be someone’s afterthought.
You deserve people who recognize your value from the start—people who are sure about you. If someone hesitates, second-guesses, or treats you like you’re replaceable, it’s not a reflection of your worth. It’s a reflection of their inability to see it.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Not everyone is capable of understanding and appreciating who you are, and that’s okay. They aren’t meant to walk this journey with you. Some people are in our lives for a season, while others are meant to stay. Either way, their inability to choose you wholeheartedly doesn’t mean you’re not worthy—it just means they weren’t meant to be part of your story.

One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn—and I think many of us have—is that begging someone to stay diminishes your worth.
Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or a romantic partner, the moment you feel the need to convince someone to keep you in their life, you’ve already given away a piece of your power.

If you have to plead for their presence, they are not your person.
The right people don’t need convincing.

This is especially true in romantic relationships. Love should feel like a safe place, not a battleground where you’re constantly fighting to prove you deserve to be there. The right partner won’t leave you questioning where you stand—they’ll show you through consistent actions that you’re a priority, not a backup plan.

My mom once gave me advice I’ll never forget: “Leave the door to your life open.” It means letting people come and go freely. Welcome them in with kindness, but if they choose to leave, don’t block the door—hold it open for them.

The people who are truly meant to stay will never walk out in the first place. They’ll show up day after day, without hesitation, because to them, you weren’t a maybe—you were an instant yes.

Honor your quirks. Sharpen your strengths. Embrace the things that make you you. Life would be unbearably boring if we were all the same.

And above all, always choose yourself.
Remember that your worth isn’t defined by who stays or who leaves. There is always at least one person who is grateful every single day that you exist—someone who looks at you and thinks, “Thank you, Universe, for bringing this person into my life.”

Those people saw you clearly from the very beginning.
To them, you weren’t a maybe.
You were, and always will be, a YES.
