Love,

“You are more than the sum total of your past, more than the thoughts that keep you up at night, more than the person you were yesterday. You are more.”

He will love you, all of you. He will love even the parts you don’t believe deserve to be loved. He will think you are beautiful, and not just on the surface but on a level so deep there will not be a day that goes by where he does not see your beauty. He will see past all of the physical “flaws” you think you have and all he will see is perfection. When you come out of the shower, bare, with all of your make up washed off, and nothing to cover up all of the parts that make you believe you don’t deserve to be loved, he will look at you, and be at a loss for words. He will stare at you as if you are the most beautiful creation he has ever seen, and he will be so grateful he exists at the same time as you, to connect with a person so beautiful, down to the core.

“Don’t expect someone to be perfect. We’re all human. We all make mistakes. We’re all still learning. We’re all still growing. Be easier on each other, love without conditions, and help each other grow.”

I think the healthiest type of relationship is when each person wants the other to love themselves more than them.

Today

“Please don’t ever settle. Don’t be with someone just because you’re afraid of being alone. Don’t choose to spend your life with someone just because the choice is comfortable and safe. Believe in finding someone that makes you feel life is unreal because the love you feel for them is more incredible than anything you’ve ever dreamt of. Believe, even if no one else around you still believes. Choose to still believe in love.”

“When I was younger, I believed if your heart was broken you needed to find someone to heal it. Then, I realized your heart can only be broken & healed by one person: you. You break your own heart everyday when you deprive it of your own love, thinking you have to wait for the love from another to feel complete. You heal it by giving love to yourself & not needing to receive love before you can feel complete, whole, loved.”
