Fight For The Love You Deserve, But Also Fight To Be Worthy Of That Love
By Marisa Donnelly
We deserve the world. We deserve to fall into relationships with people who adore us, with individuals who see us as valuable, and special, and worthy of their affection and attention.
We deserve happiness. We deserve to be respected, treated well, strengthened, and appreciated. We deserve partners who see us beyond our faults and flaws. Partners who will inspire us, who will bring us up when we’re down, who will support us when we can’t find our footing, who won’t leave when times get tough or something better comes along.
We deserve real love — the passionate, steady, consistent, dedicated love. And no, we honestly shouldn’t settle for anything less.
There isn’t perfection. There isn’t a person who will cross of every item on our list or meet all the criterion in our minds or always say and do the right thing, but there is such a thing as real love. And we should let ourselves fall deeply into that, and only that.
But the problem with honoring what we deserve and not settling for anything else, is that sometimes it leads us into entitlement. Sometimes it gives us a big head, makes us feel as if we’re on top of the world and that no one is worthy of the love we give.
