“I know I’m not easy to love. I’m a chronic over-thinker. I overreact more than I should…And every once in a while, I might be a little insecure. But if I am in love with you, I can promise you wholeheartedly that you will be loved with so much passion and intensity that you’ll forget what life felt like before I came along. You will always be cared for and you will always have someone in your corner. Maybe I’m not the best at being loved - But I like to think I’m pretty good at loving.”

“I fell in love with you more than once… I fell for you since the first day we met, and every day since then.”

“Perhaps the saddest thing of all, Is that you made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. And worse yet, is that I let you”

“It’s not about any of it being “okay” or “God” or “forgiveness”, it never was and it never will be. It’s about acknowledging that it happened. It’s about always remembering October, and January and February and not being scared of the holidays. It’s about allowing yourself to break and cry and scream, and pulling yourself together only when you’re ready. It’s about waking up and walking outside the front door as the cool fall breeze brushes your face and allowing yourself to be alive. It’s about allowing yourself to love and breath and not feeling guilty for the things that once ran you with red. It’s about not apologizing for the ways you kept yourself alive. It’s about learning to let go instead of trying to bury it. It’s about loving yourself when no one else can, and doing the best you can with what you have. The sun will rise and the leaves will change and you will keep moving, because you have allowed yourself to feel and forgiven yourself for loving with all your heart. You’ll be okay.”

“Stop making it seem like you’re so hard to love. I, of all people, can tell you with certainty: you’re not.”
