Choosing to love someone

You need someone who wants to be there when it's messy and when it's hard, not just when it's fun and when it's convenient. And you need someone who chooses you when it might not be the easiest choice. And you need someone who would rather do nothing with you than anything in the world with someone else.

When you choose to love someone who is damaged, you take on the weight of their past, their pain, their guilt. You must be strong, you must be patient. You can stop the bleeding and help them scar over but they will always, always be a little broken. If you can handle that, if you can accept the dents and the cracks, if you can get them to trust you, you will never find a better ally than one who is damaged. Above all else, they know about survival.

Yet sadly in today's world that seems more like a dream than a reality... 😕

One of my focus areas. Learning to love myself so can accept it from someone who chooses to love me.

Vienna Pharaon on Instagram: “And loving someone and choosing them are different. Does your love and choice match? Sometimes love isn’t enough. Sometimes loving someone…”

You were the one. I woulda married you and fulfilled your wildest dreams... but you never truly loved me. And the truth always comes out sooner or later.

Letting go of someone you love will require you to know when to walk away if it's not worth fighting for and then acceptance for what is

you deserve someone who never stops choosing you.
