When Love Is Taken for Granted: Reclaiming Your Worth

They say a woman’s heart is a deep ocean, full of unseen currents. Yet few speak of the exhaustion that comes from constantly giving love without ever being truly seen. This excerpt follows a woman who has poured her warmth and guidance into a relationship that has slowly drained her. She was the steady current when he lost his way and the lighthouse when he wandered into dark storms. Over time, her devotion became an expectation. Her “thank you” was taken as routine, her presence reduced to a convenience. She felt like salt in the sea—essential yet invisible. But this is not a story of defeat. It is a journey of reclamation. It is about remembering your power, finding your name, and returning to the depths of your true self.
