On the Beauty of Waiting for What is Real

To my dearest girl: In this world, there is no rush to find a partner. There is no need to rush into a relationship or give your heart away. Entrusting your life to yourself is more stable and reassuring than entrusting it to anyone else.

You can enjoy the flutter of your heart, the warmth and sweetness of spring, and the pounding anticipation as you wait for a message. These moments are truly beautiful; cherish the opportunity to experience them. But always remember one thing: A flutter of the heart is fleeting; character is what stays with you for a lifetime.

It is not enough for him to be "nice" to you. When someone likes you, anyone can appear perfect. Anyone can be incredibly gentle in the beginning. The real test is never the sweetness of infatuation, but what remains after the romantic filter fades.

A truly trustworthy person is someone who is "naturally a good person." Not someone who feigns thoughtfulness because they love you, nor someone who pretends to be responsible just to pursue you. You want someone who is inherently kind, naturally respectful, and instinctively protective of the weak.

When someone is sincere, taking care of your needs isn't an act, nor is it done because you reminded them. Romance can be rehearsed and thoughtfulness can be imitated, but kindness cannot be faked. Character cannot be manufactured, and a true heart cannot be disguised.

So, my dear, do not cling to someone just because you are lonely. Do not sacrifice your principles just because you are moved. Do not lose yourself in the feeling of "being loved." You deserve more than just love; you deserve to be treated with genuine sincerity.

Before meeting the right person, focus your energy on becoming better, stronger, and brighter. Love yourself until you are complete, confident, and unafraid to stand your ground. The person worthy of your love is someone who allows you to be yourself—without caution, without the need to please, and without the mask of being "strong."

Until then, keep all your tenderness, your expectations, and your dreams for yourself. Because you are the most worthy person in your world. Never forget this.
