hey
make sure you let yourself be loved by someone who is there for you through it all, good and bad, and doesn’t expect you to be perfect of your own will nor of any god’s
people are processes, they are flawed, we are always learning
if someone can’t or won’t be there for you when you’re having a bad day or when you cry for no reason or when you treat them with anger and contempt, if they are not patient with you and love you regardless - i seriously ask ‘what is the point?’
love is not about only good feelings; love is not about perfect people loving one another perfectly
love is sharing a journey of growth with someone you’ve chosen to be perfectly imperfect with
((this is something difficult i had to realize and accept today because i am a perfectionist and i will always take the blame for things. it is hard for me to think that i am not going to do everything exactly the right way every time and have the answer for everything. i try to do this with people i love and it never works! it is a challenge to accept the love i am given and remind myself and allow myself to be reminded that i am going to be loved and supported no matter what stage of my life’s process i am in. i am going to change constantly - and just like i’ve chosen to love someone - they have chosen me back. i will always be my own worst critic, and i am not perfect, but i am loved.))
