I guess I don't believe these things can ever be easy, although I also don't see why they have to be hard.

If you want to be loved, be a lovable. It's a good place to start.

Image
We always see our worst selves. Our most vulnerable selves. We need someone else to get close enough to tell us we’re wrong. Someone we trust.
