Love isn’t about being perfect. Love is about two people who come together and shamelessly fall into each other. Love comes with compromise, and decisions.

you spend years reciting to yourself all of the things you hate about who you are and trying to hide them from anyone who gets too close    then suddenly someone walks into your life and wants to love the ugliest parts of you    and you love them back harder than you knew you could but still you’re terrified that they will find something too horrible for them to see past and they like everyone else will leave and out of fear you will crash and burn and shatter your fragile heart    my darling do not doubt their love don’t sabotage your happiness because not everyone has seen what they see in you don’t push them away because you’re afraid that they’re just bound to leave anyway    you’ve got to take a chance and believe that you are worth loving that you are worth sticking around for    and maybe letting them love you will teach you a thing or two about loving yourself

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

If there would be one trait that would make you successful … that trait would be confidence.
