Truly Seen

"I don't want someone who sees the good in me, I want someone who sees the bad and still loves me."

     It's easy to love someone when all you see is the good parts of them. The true test to see if the love you have for someone is legitimate is by seeing their bad parts and still loving them. Recently, with my opening up I've been met with so much support and love. This has allowed me to see the people that love me with a whole new respect. 

     The thing or person rather, that has been on my mind is a person that I want to know this. I won't identify this person because of how much love and respect I have for this person, but I want them to know that I understand thoughts of self doubt and feeling devalued by my mistakes. You're not alone. I'd even say that everyone feels this way at some point or another. The thing that I wish I would have known long before I finally opened up was how much love and support was waiting once I allowed myself to be seen as a whole. 

     I understand that you need to do this in your own time, because I certainly took my sweet time. Just know that there are so many people waiting to be there to love you for who you are, mistakes and all. When you are ready to be truly seen, I'll be there patiently waiting to see what you find. Being able to share these things with people have allowed me to LIVE NOW, and I believe it will help you too, and everyone reading this. Thanks for reading and we'll talk soon!
