True love doesn’t come to you it has to be inside you.

The line frames love less as an external event—something that “arrives” via fate, romance, or another person—and more as an internal capacity: empathy, openness, self-knowledge, and the willingness to give. Read this way, “true love” is not merely being chosen or pursued; it is a disposition cultivated within oneself that then shapes how one relates to others. The quote also implies a corrective to passive romantic narratives: waiting to be completed or rescued is less reliable than developing the inner qualities that make durable attachment possible. It can be taken as an argument for self-respect and emotional maturity as prerequisites for healthy partnership.
