One thing above all other things holds us back from accepting the love we deserve: Doubt. We doubt ourselves, we doubt those willing to give their love to us, we doubt the universe, we doubt circumstances, worth, timing, and every other possible thing we can aim our disbelief at. This doubt draws lines, borders that while imaginary, still hold a great deal of power. We approach these invisible walls and we convince ourselves we can go no further, we scream across them and hope someone will hear, someone will be willing to stay close despite it all.
Beyond all this, right beyond if we’re brave enough to step over the boundary we drew, it’s all waiting. I know this, because I’ve been there, I know this, because I lied to myself for years finding ten million reasons I was not worthy of being loved, that I could not have a happy life filled with it. With a mixture of patience, grace, and a hell of a lot of understanding, we can cross this barrier, we can step forward, we can have what we deserve.
I know many of you reading this may be alone right now, may be in that holding pattern, may even be reading this with disbelief, and if so, please feel free to comment, to ring in, but I’m here to tell you this truth because I have been where you are, and I have been where I am. Believe, with all of you, that you’re worthy of love, that you’ll find what you need, that it’s coming for you right now. Step over the doubt, and find it all waiting.
It's waiting for you,
beyond the borders of doubt,
all the love you need.

Thank you for this. I have been married over 12 years, and I still doubt my worthiness of that love every day. That doubt gets in the way of really feeling it. This is a beautiful reminder.
Before you my love, I thought I was only meant to love others. To give everything of myself and the love I received in return was not necessary. Then you came in and burned down all of the walls I had built, you showed me that I was meant to be loved the way I love others. Fully and without reason. Thank you for showing me, thank you for making me feel so alive, I will never stop accepting that beautiful love and knowing that I am worthy of it.
