The Email
I am a 28-year-old woman, and my heart feels stuck in waiting mode.
Waiting for clarity.
Waiting for consistency.
Waiting for them to finally say
what their actions never show.
Waiting for consistency.
Waiting for them to finally say
what their actions never show.
They say they’re unsure.
They say they need time.
They say they care — just not enough to choose.

Why does love feel like waiting in uncertainty?
Why do I keep holding space for someone
who won’t fully step into it?

— A Heart Tired of Waiting
When Love Lives in Limbo
There is a quiet exhaustion
that comes from emotional uncertainty.

You’re not single —
but you’re not secure.
You’re not rejected —
but you’re not chosen.
but you’re not secure.
You’re not rejected —
but you’re not chosen.
So you analyze texts.
You replay conversations.
You search for meaning
in half-promises and mixed signals.

in half-promises and mixed signals.
You tell yourself:
“They’re just scared.”
“They’ll be ready soon.”
“I shouldn’t pressure them.”
“They’ll be ready soon.”
“I shouldn’t pressure them.”
But love does not grow in hesitation.
It grows in clarity.

And uncertainty slowly teaches your heart
to accept less than it deserves.
