Know that I love you unconditionally. If I know what that means. Know that I love you to the best of my ability and that my heart opens up to you and holds a place there for you. Know that I love you no matter what. You can do no wrong in my eyes and you are perfect as you are. I may tell you when I disagree with you, but I will never judge you or forsake you. Know that I want to be, and am wholly here for you. That words cannot express the love I hold for you, with you and receive from you. I feel this love for you because you love me in return and it’s a connection that is cherished above all else. Love, connection, truth, cannot ever be destroyed. No matter what. Know that I love you, and am here with you. I stand by your side, always.

We lie to ourselves all the time. But in order to fully open ourselves up to all the beauty and meaning life can hold for us, we have to choose to see the truth, even when it hurts. In doing so, we accept, let go, and grow.
