Love

“You Are Easier to Love Than You Think”

You worry that you’re too much.

Too emotional.
Too quiet.
Too complex.
Too needy on your hard days.

But love isn’t as fragile as you’ve been led to believe.

The people who truly love you aren’t exhausted by your humanity. They’re not waiting for you to become simpler or more convenient.

Love isn’t sustained by perfection.
It’s sustained by presence.

You don’t have to earn it by being agreeable or useful or low-maintenance.

You are not hard to love—you are just human.

And love—real love—knows what to do with that.

Let yourself receive it where it shows up.
Let yourself give it without fear of being diminished.

Love doesn’t keep score the way you think it does.

You are already worthy of it, exactly as you are today.
