But some people are different. Some people show you things you’ve never seen before, things you’ve never felt before. And everything suddenly makes sense. Everything falls into place. Pieces that once didn’t fit suddenly have the right shape.
You understand that before things just weren’t quite right, that everyone who came and went never treated you like you deserved, never really showed you how much they cared, how much you meant to them, and you thought it was normal. You thought you just had to accept that you were always the one to give, but to never receive anything in turn. But that’s not true. That’s not true at all. You have to open your eyes. You have to listen to your heart for once, trust your gut feeling and not that stubborn head of yours, and you will find these people. The only difficult thing is to recognise them for what they are and to not send them away because of the doubts you carry in the very depths of your soul, because of the goodbyes you already carry on your tongue. Because you were never one to wear your heart on your sleeve and you don’t think you deserve that kind of love. But you do. You do, whether it comes in the shape of a friendship for life or in meeting your significant other. Just please don’t give up. Please don’t think that you’ve seen it all when there are people out there dying to be a part of your life. To walk right into it, to make a mess of things and rearrange them in a pattern you never thought possible. Please don’t think you will never find this kind of love. For all you know, it could be waiting right around the corner.
