✨ SOUL WEALTH CHRONICLES ISSUE 82
I’d Rather Wait Than Settle
I still believe in love.
I still believe in connection.
In partnership.
In meaningful relationships.
That hasn’t changed.
What has changed…
is what I’m willing to accept.
There was a time when I would stay longer than I should have.
Give people more chances than they earned.
Try to understand things that didn’t feel right.
Explain away what I knew, deep down, wasn’t aligned.
Not because I didn’t see it.
But because I wasn’t fully honoring what I felt.
I was still learning.
Still healing.
Still figuring out what alignment actually meant for me.
But something shifted.
Now…
if it doesn’t feel right…
I don’t engage.
And it’s not harsh.
It’s not emotional.
It’s just… clear.
Because I’ve experienced what it feels like
to override that inner voice.
To stay in situations that required me to shrink.
To adjust.
To compromise in ways that didn’t feel good.
And I don’t do that anymore.
This isn’t just about relationships.
It’s about everything.
Friendships.
Conversations.
Opportunities.
If it doesn’t align…
I move on.
Without overthinking it.
Without needing closure.
Without needing to explain.
Because I trust myself now.
And that trust…
has changed everything.
Because now…
I don’t feel the need to fill space.
I don’t feel the need to make something work
just because it’s there.
I would rather wait.
Not from lack…
but from alignment.
Because I know…
what’s meant for me won’t require me
to lower my standards to receive it.
And until then…
I’m at peace.
✨ Closing Reflection
Waiting isn’t emptiness.
It’s alignment in motion.
With grace,
Natalie
