and i hope that loving me is never the hardest thing anyone has to do. i hope the weight of my flaws is not heavier than the comfort i want to bring into your life. i hope my mistakes don't erase the times i get it right. i hope my silence doesn't scare you, and my words don't push you too far. i hope you never feel like you have to carry the weight of loving me all on your own. i know i'm not perfect, and i never will be. but i hope you don't think i need to be perfect just to be worthy of love. i hope you can love me in the quiet, in the loud, in the happy times, and in the messy moments, too. loving me might not always be easy. there will be days when it takes patience, when it needs a little more kindness and understanding. but i hope it never feels heavy, never feels like too much. i hope it feels safe, like a love that grows deeply. a love that feels like home.
