Just Love 🧡🖤

Earlier today, I went back through my blog knowing it needs maintenance. A task for Christmas break. I landed on my breakup post of 2020. I cried reading it back. I was so lost and numb back then. But I was also so hopeful and relieved to be out of that darkness. I was in pieces when I reconnected with you, and I think of how you’ve slowly, but steadily, put every single piece of me back together.

It’s been three years now. I feel whole again. When I take a breath of fresh air, it’s not so heavy anymore. I keep going, even when life gets hard, because you believe in me. I march to the beat of my own drum more confidently because you encourage me to. I move more freely in life because you see the beauty and purpose of me being here. You remind me I have a place here when I often feel like an outsider.

I finally feel like myself again after being in purgatory for so long because you love me for exactly who I am. No judgement. Just love.

Thank you for preserving my dignity. You proved me wrong. I am worthy of happiness. I’ll never forget how you saved me all those years ago by pure love.

I hope you never let anyone take your shine away. Your light changes people. I should know. I am one of them.
