DEAR SOMEONE

TO DEAR SOMEONE

RE: MAYBE

Hoping this work finds you well and blessed.

Maybe love, real love, is about finding someone who is imperfect, just like us, and loving them in spite of their sins.

Maybe its about learning to forgive people’s inconsistencies, as they forgive ours. Maybe its about trusting, even when people don’t really deserve that honor. Maybe its starting over and rebuilding. Maybe its learning to embrace all the pieces of another person, good and bad.

But Maybe what we need to start doing is a little less expecting, and a lot more accepting.

Maybe love is all about building a true and lasting friendship, maybe its about completing the other person.

Maybe we need to understand that we are all human, and we are all going to make mistakes. The people we love are going to disappoint us; they’re going to fail us. We are going to ask them to be there for us, and they might run. We might want them to follow through on their promises, and they break them instead.

There will be a million and one ways the people we love will let us down, but we must still learn to love them, as they love us. That is the only way love works – it survives, it grows, it continues, even in its imperfection.

Maybe love is about making tiny sacrifices for the people you love. Not telling them about the little things that bother you. Not being so hard on them when they forget something you asked. Not holding them to immeasurably standards. And accepting them and loving them fully instead.

Maybe you need someone who knows that you are not perfect but he/she stares at you like you are the most perfect creature they has ever seen

Dear someone, maybe,You are ‘The good one’.
