There Is Room for All of You Here

by Michaela Angemeer

i refuse to believe that i don’t get to choose how i’m loved

i hope you know that being open to love again after giving up on it is one of the greatest acts of bravery. even though you’re terrified, you are so courageous. i know vulnerability feels like prying your chest open with scarred palms, but what if it’s worth it? what if you find someone just as soft as you. what if you find someone who knows you don’t deserve to be discarded. what if being seen becomes effortless. what if feeling doesn’t have to hurt. what if they make everything you’ve been through worth it. what if they teach you how to love again.

when you whispered can i? my heart skipped a beat no one else ever asked no one else ever cared if i said yes

you're making me believe in the impossible like people can be reliable and consistent and stick to their word i've stopped second guessing and double checking i don't have to ask anymore cause when you say you'll be there it’s true

to the love of my life: thank you for bringing joy into every day. your laugh and boundless energy makes my life so much better. i love learning and growing with you. and that every day is its own little adventure. i am so grateful for your deep caring and understanding. i just wanna get to know you until the end of the earth. thank you for never failing to surprise me in the most beautiful ways that make me feel more loved than i’ve ever felt. your presence is a gift. your mind is a wonder that unravels in the most profound ways. i just want to live inside your brain. you bring depth to the moments that need quiet and light to the moments that deserve celebration. i love that you lead with love and are so aware of the impact you have on other people. i am so honoured to call you my partner and best friend. the idea of our life together is the most exciting thing i’ve ever imagined.

i hope you create moments for yourself in every day. i hope you take deep breaths of fresh air. i hope you remind yourself you’re alive. i hope you love. i hope you realize there are so many things in this life to be in love with. i hope you cherish yourself as much as your relationships. i hope you don’t treat love like it’s a secret. i hope you shout it from the rooftops. i hope you witness all the parts of yourself. i hope you hug your inner child as often as you can. i hope you remember that your purpose in life is to enjoy living. i hope you know that being yourself is enough. i hope you say no to the things that want to hold you back. i hope you feel free. and most of all, i hope you find peace.
