On 11/20/11 I went on the absolute best first date. I was swarmed by metaphorical butterflies as I walked into the dimly lit cafe. We spent the night chatting, laughing, and dodging raindrops. I squealed annoyingly about mini pigs and he just looked at me with pure joy. That's exactly how it is today but with even more butterflies, squeals, and moments of pure joy.

I sat around stressed and upset and you said "Bacon". You told me that you would always be there for me in every way. You told me that everything would be alright. This was the first time that someone told me those words and I could actually believe them.

When I say, ‘I love you,’ it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a hell of a person.
Joss Whedon

People always say "you cannot love someone else until you love yourself". People are so smart. A few years ago I liked myself, mostly. But I did not love myself wholly. I began an intimate journey of self discovery. At times it was painful and rough and I felt raw. I think that's what it's like once you dig past all the emotional scar tissue and begin scraping at new. On a particularly dark and vulnerable night I curled into the fetal position on my bed. My knees pressed hard against my chest but all I could feel was this heaving ache of unlovable-ness. My mind was empty and I felt hollow. A part of me had felt this way for so long that i was beginning to believe I was unloveable. Without premeditation I spoke, "You are loved" in a confident voice. It was my voice that spoke the words but I don't know who said it. It was in that moment I fell deeply and madly in love with myself. I had worn myself down to the core and all that was left was myself. My pain, anger, and sadness had been shed. I sat staring at my soul and felt joy. I felt loved.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
