This narrative isn't centered on politics or the choices of whom to love; rather, it delves into values, sensibility, and affection.

What do pride and rightness mean? They symbolize the antithesis of shame and wrongdoing.

Imagine the joy on someone's face when you call them; picture a stroll where they are visibly proud to be seen with you, and you with them. It’s about mutual validation and feeling right together.

This dynamic stands in stark contrast to feelings of demand or shame associated with love and happiness—questions about whether you truly deserve joy should never arise.

Love, happiness, pride in your partner, and the warmth of being together are all natural and healthy emotions. If anyone makes you feel ashamed or wrong for experiencing love and joy, it's essential to distance yourself from them.

No one has the right to diminish your feelings of love or happiness—absolutely no one. You have every right to be proud of your partner, and they should feel equally proud of you. We all deserve to experience that rightness in our relationships.

To foster a healthy environment, limit your exposure to individuals who consistently say negative things about you, whether directly or behind your back.

When you encounter someone whose first words are unkind, belittling, or mocking, recognize that they are projecting their insecurities onto you. The more you distance yourself from them, the more you will cultivate feelings of pride and love within yourself.

Surround yourself instead with those who uplift you, who speak positively about you both in person and in your absence.

Look for people who begin conversations with compliments like, "What a lovely dress!" or "You look fantastic today!" They should inspire you and celebrate your achievements, acknowledging the little things about you that make you unique.

When they need to provide constructive feedback, it should come from a place of love and respect, expressed privately and kindly—never as a means of criticism.

It's important to note that these characteristics are not confined to any specific demographic; supportive individuals can be found across all ages and genders. Seek out those who bring positivity into your life, and steer clear of those who do not.

Don't waste your energy trying to change others, regardless of how influential you believe you are.

Take pride in your loved one. Stand tall beside them during your beautiful walks, embracing the love you share. Protect that pride, rightness, and love at all costs.
