All I've Wanted All I've Needed

by A.E. Valdez

Even though everything feels like it’s falling apart, I can’t help but to also feel like everything is falling into place.

Instead of degrading myself for still loving and wanting him in my life, I accept that this is where I am. And things can change at any given moment.

“There’s nothing wrong with being committed to yourself. When you’re not focused on love, that’s when it sweeps you up.”

The problem with comfort is that it makes it easier to slip into routines. It makes it easier for us to become stagnant.

People can tell you what you are all day, but you really have to believe it yourself for you to be able to embody it.

Letting go takes a lot of time, indecisiveness, and fuck ups before you can officially walk away and feel done. I’m not there yet, and I guess that’s okay, even though I’m wishing that I were.

With time, you realize people who were once your world matter a little less to you each day.

“What did I do to deserve this?” I take the plate he’s holding out to me. “You exist. That’s all you need to do.”

We’re all deserving of happiness and of a love that’s so deep that you only discover the depths to which it goes with each passing day as your love grows.
