I hope I learn to love the person I have become. I hope I know that I don’t always have to lean on another human for comfort. I don’t have to search for outside sources to find peace.

I hope I fall in love with myself before I give anyone else my love. I hope I see myself as someone worth adoring. Nothing about me is a mistake. Nothing about me is even close to worthless. My worth is not conditional.

I won’t become someone I love when I’m constantly running away from myself. I will never love where I am now or who I am now when I am constantly trying to predict the future.

Amen.
