Love is not a plural


As humans, we constantly seek reassurance. Trying to find a reason to stay or a reason to feel like our presence is wanted. Needed even. Or to make sure that we actually want what we have and that it is not a novelty one is so used to having.
We continuously look for the gaps in our relationships with the people who matter sealing them off as best we can and yet, more cracks show up once another one is sealed. We tire of the less than perfect relationships. The one with cracks. The one with the massive gap that you try to overlook. The mask of happiness you put over it.
And yet, these imperfections, these mistakes we all have in our lives are substantial proof that yes, you are worth it. The fact that you're putting up with it and still going proves that you're doing something right. The simple fact that you're still going strong should tell you something. So before you think that things aren't working and you're about to give up or you don't think that it's worth the trouble, think about what it would be like if you didn't have what you're about to throw away.
When someone says they want you, they do. Don't question it. Don't think that they're taking pity on you because you're worth a lot more than that. The impact one can make on a nother's life is hard to grasp when you're the one making the impact but believe someone when they say "I love you" or "You're awesome" because if you don't believe it, when can you ever be reassured? Realise that you're the kind of person someone would want to boast about being friends with. The kind of person that someone out there will run to or think about at the most random of times and crack up laughing because of one of your injokes. And the kind of person that people wish or aspire to be like in some small way.
Smile lots, frown less, love life.
