so simple but it has stuck with me since. it's probably been a year since i received this message and the sender is now a hinge match turned close dear friend. i go back to look at and think about this whenever i'm down on myself
close second is one of my new school friends telling me, after only knowing me a few months, that she can see how strongly i love people and that she loves me for it. i've always seen it as a fault but i deserve to be loved for those too

this is a targeted rec and it may be pathetic, but only slightly.
really what i love about this is the realization of love’s power. you can get the shit kicked out of you emotionally and still feel love. the very thing that kicks you down is the one that will raise you up and i just find that so touching.
the yearning sucks, but the love is what keeps me going and ultimately it’s what’s made me happy in the end.

not only when you have a deep conversation or they do something great for you, remember that our reception of love is equal to our familiarity with giving it to others. unlearning the process of commodifying love has been so difficult but so freeing, realizing i can care for people openly for simply being in my lives without having to feel like they must do something to earn it is so so wonderful, highly recommend
