Redefining True Love

The concept of true love is explored through the lens of individual self-worth and the understanding that love begins with oneself. True love, defined as unconditional acceptance and altruistic giving, requires a peaceful relationship with oneself to avoid dependency on a partner for validation. The realization that many people chase an unrealistic notion of 'the one' can lead to disappointment and unmet expectations in romantic relationships. This perspective encourages individuals to abandon the notion of a singular perfect partner and instead focus on their capacity to give and receive love in a healthy, balanced manner.
