True Love Comes After Self-Love.

True Love Comes After Self-Love.
by Catherine Josephine | The Love Priestess™
Not before.
Not through someone else.
Not by chasing it.
Love arrives softly.
Unexpectedly.
And it feels… right.
Not because it’s perfect—
but because it’s safe.
Because you didn’t have to perform for it.
Because it didn’t come from hunger.
It came from wholeness.
If you’re trying too hard to be loved…
If you’re craving it like an addiction…
If you’re bending, twisting, and abandoning yourself just to feel chosen…
That’s not true love.
That’s a wound.
And no man—no matter how magnetic—can fill what you’re still running from within yourself.
If you keep attracting the same patterns with men —
❥ The hot and cold chaser
❥ The fast-starting love that fizzles
❥ The emotionally unavailable partner who feels like “home” but leaves you hurting...
That’s not fate.
That’s feedback.
And it’s not punishment.
It’s your soul saying:
“Look inward. There’s something here that needs your attention.”
Love isn’t supposed to be constant anxiety.
It’s not supposed to be gut instinct vs. red flag confusion.
It’s not supposed to feel like you’re the only one trying.
Real love doesn’t make you chase it.
It shows up when you’ve stopped abandoning yourself.
When you stop asking:
“Why do they always leave?”
and start asking:
“What part of me keeps choosing what doesn’t stay?”
That’s when everything changes.
That’s when love becomes a reflection of the relationship you’ve built with yourself—
Not a replacement for the one you’ve been avoiding.
True love feels easy.
Not because life is easy,
but because you are no longer at war with yourself.
