oh honey, what made you this afraid to become vulnerable? I hope you find the courage within you to be ready to accept love just as much as you are ready to give it. maybe you were never born in the most loving environment that you grew up focusing on just how you're going to give and express love in all ways, always. but my love, you've forgotten that you too are deserving of it. you deserve to be heard, to be cared for, to be of high importance to somebody. you're terrified, I know, I can see you've become cynical. love is right in front of you, embracing you, all while knowing how your fingers fidget in fear of ruining this moment. you have to learn to reach out, even when it's hard.
