Stitches

You cannot love someone entirely, without knowing all their faults. True love will encompass all weaknesses, all struggling, all offenses, and all judgement. I love you for you. For who you are, for who you've been, and for who you'll be. When someone fills up all the little holes in your life- fills you up so much that you burst over with laughter- that, that is something to be treasured. If you've found someone who you can be yourself with: your true, ugly, horrible, crazy, mistaken, beautiful, opinionated self, then hold on to that person. Care for that person. Love that person. Never give up on each other. When you feel like treating each other indifferently, purposefully send a smile their way instead. Don't just tell them you care, show them you care. Don't let something so rare rot away because of past mistakes. LOVE. And then love some more. And when you're done loving, LOVE EVEN MORE. Even if you're hurt, know that pain makes you stronger. It makes you bolder. It shows you who you are. Love through the affliction. Forgiveness will bind your wounds.
