Can i just say a thing to all the single girls for a moment? I have always thought that I’d end up being that single, super girl that would never get married, and save the world all by herself. I thought it was from a place of power & independence, but it was actually deeply rooted in a place of insecurity and the feeling of inadequacy. Now that im in a relationship with my literal dream guy and the most amazing man I’ve ever known, i can’t help but remember the way i felt a mere 5 months ago. Not completely worthy, not the most beautiful face in the room, not completely known by the people around me… my relationship with letting my self receive love was very dysfunctional & broken. Almost nonexistent. But, to every girl who feels the same right now… it’s not a cliche to look yourself in the face and whisper “you are worthy” over and over again, until you’re filled with the love and delight God has as He looks at you. You are so worthy. Please don’t starve yourself from the love that your heart needs. We need people.. we need each other. We can’t do this life on our own. As much as we like to believe that “the one woman show” is the most attractive thing to be, it’s cold and isolated. We deprive our hearts. Love again. Risk your independence, and love again. And a man WILL (Yes- He will…) come and he will look you in the face and whisper, “you are worthy”, and you’ll find that the capacity to love and to be loved , was there all along. But, you just needed to believe you are worthy of it. You are LOVED.

and here you are, continuing on, despite how hard it’s been

me @ God: here is the thing *sits on the floor* *cries*
