Your partner is more than just someone you live with; they are a projection of your inner world.

They may awaken your anxieties, fears, and hidden pains. If you choose someone who constantly belittles you, you might gradually start to believe you're not good enough. Conversely, if you choose someone who supports you, you'll see your own light more clearly.

Your partner can either help you become a better version of yourself or they may gradually erode your self-worth.

Therefore, choosing a partner is not just about attraction, passion, or shared interests. You must choose someone who can see your potential when you forget it. Choose someone who reminds you without destroying your soul. Choose someone who heals you, not someone who adds new wounds.

Love is more than just an emotion; it shapes you.

A wrong mirror distorts your reflection, making you doubt yourself. A right mirror, however, shows you the truth: You are worthy, you are capable, and you are inherently lovable.

Ultimately, a good partner becomes part of your "self-story." Choose someone who can help you write a story you can be proud of.
