I just had an epiphany...
You know that quote from The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, "We accept the love we think we deserve." I didn't think I deserved love. So I chased after what I thought I deserved and I punished myself for not being GOOD ENOUGH. I just realized that no one DESERVES love. Love is love because we don't deserve it. TRUE love is loving someone DESPITE their flaws or shortcomings.
I spent so much time running from the love that was offered to me because I didn't think I was WORTHY of it. I should have just ACCEPTED the love. It's so simple and yet so hard.
I will never be GOOD ENOUGH to be loved. No one will. Even if they spent their entire lives working and striving to be WORTHY they would always fall short. Love isn't and shouldn't be something you EARN; love should be given as a gift FREELY to the UNDESERVING. all we can do is accept it, and give in return.
I want to get better. Really get better. So I will probably still post but not as much.
