RELEASE IT,(Embrace Love) An open letter to the broken.

Hello there, how are you? I hope this letter finds you well. I'm not sure if what I'm writing here hits home more for you or if it's also resonating within me, but I know this is important for both of us. Can you promise to give it a shot, even though I know it's tough?

I understand – love has thrown a lot your way. You've given so much of yourself and haven't always received it back. Love, for you, seems like always having to be the bigger person, the stronger one, the understanding one. I know exactly how that feels; I've been there too.

Sweetheart, I know you've reached the point where you think love wasn't meant for you, or for me. Maybe you feel like that's just our fate, that life or love isn't fair to us. I get it, honestly. Past hurt has made us tougher than we should be, and our experiences have led us to believe that we're all we've got. But it's not true! It's all in our heads, and it's not necessarily reality.

All I want to say to you, and to myself, is to let go. Let go of the trauma, the pain, the belief that love wasn't meant for us, the habit of always being the stronger, more understanding person. Tear down those walls you've built. Let love in, just give it a chance this time. I promise you'll find your person, we all will someday. Every person you've met who made love a bad experience is teaching you to appreciate the one who will love you exactly as you deserve.

In conclusion, go ahead, respond to that message in your inbox, go on that date. Allow yourself to find love, give it one more try. This letter is for you, and for me too. I love you so much, and I'm here cheering you on. ❤️

                                          Yours Sincerely,

                                           The clumsy girl.
