Note to self

Stop chasing guys who do not choose you. You know where that leads. Heart break. Emotional damage. Questioning your self-worth. Self-pity. Self-loathing. Doubting if you have ever loved. 

The worthy one will be strong, unwavering, persistent. He will see the real you and will accept you - flaws, faults, insecurities, weirdness, personalities, talents, potential, dreams, ambitions. Not piecemeal. All of you. The kind of commitment that you are willing to pursue. The kind of acceptance that you are willing to give. That is what you deserve. You may not believe it now, but he is out there.

"Why do nice people choose the wrong people to date?"

"Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve."

"Can we make them know they deserve more?"

"We can try."

- Charlie Kelmeckis and Bill Anderson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
