I think I'm beginning to fall in love with me

https://ift.tt/FxLvG68

So far, this year, and the one before, and the one before that one have been really hard. I lost two grandparents to cancer. I endured a global pandemic, with both of my parents being high-risk. I came to the realization that some really f-ed up things happened to me and that they still affect me. I fell in love only to have a terrible breakup.
It would be really easy to say that these years were terrible times, filled with sadness and self-loathing. However, that would leave out the good things I did.
I dared to go out and find new friends, even if it didn't work out. I got healthier. I started wonderfull ttrpg groups with my friends and it's the most fun I have ever had. I got a dog from a shelter. I saw shooting stars and I saved about fourty snails.
Now I could say that the years were actually good, but then again, I would be lying.

The truth is that I did a lot of good things and a lot of mistakes. I wasted so much time. But I have always been there for myself.
When I look into the mirror, I can smile. I can finally talk positivly about myself. It might not be love yet, but I really like the person that I have become. And perhaps that's all you can ever ask for. If I saw myself from anothers point of view, I think I would like that guy.
Is he a procrastinating, lazy softie? Yeah. Does he try his best sometimes? Yeah.

My point is: We're taught to think that we have to be pinacle of what we can be because thats the only way to be worth something, to be oneself. But really, love is not about being optimal. If you love someone, you don't try to change them, don't make them abbandon who they are in order to fit some vision of greatness. If you love someone, you accept that they will never be complete and neither will you. Love is about understanding, about compassion. And who could understand you better than yourself?
