Next Year, I Will Allow Myself To Be Loved

I wont keep beating myself up over all the things about me that arent perfect.

I wont convince myself that I am not worth love, or even happiness for that matter.

I wont look in the mirror and point out every flaw that I can find.

Next year, I will allow myself to open my heart completely, rather than simply half way.

How its okay to allow myself to experience that kind of feeling again.

Next year, I wont live in fear that letting myself be loved automatically means putting myself at risk.

I will allow my heart to love completely- not simply in pieces out of desperate self-preservation.

I will allow myself to be loved and believe in it the way it seems to believe on me.

To choose it, the way it seems to have chosen me.

I will allow life to bring me the people it desires to- whether they last or whether they dont.

Next year, I will allow myself to be loved, but I wont be naive.

I can love completely and fully, without making the same mistakes Ive made before.

I can love completely and fully, without destroying myself in the process.

Next year, I will allow myself to be loved because,its finally time.
