i was thinking today. i've been doing a lot of thinking lately. about a lot of things.

today's thoughts were about people who love you just the way you are. and i've come to the firm conclusion that there is no such thing. i mean, you don't even love yourself just the way you are. no matter how hard anyone tries to convince themselves that XX is perfect, just the way they are, there's that annoying trait, that one small thing that will gnaw away at your subconscious. either that or it's a cacophany of things that you happily acknowledge. all the time. in front of everyone.

i haven't decided if it's ok to not love someone just the way they are. but i guess if it's the only way we can exist, it's got to work somehow?

i guess it just means that we will be tested (sometimes sorely) by people who don't love every single molecule of us or by people who we love but don't. i guess at the end of the day, it's how we learn to better ourselves (if you are the love-ee) - after all, nobody's perfect - or how we learn to live with others (if you are the love-er).

i think though, sometimes, it's nice to just be completely and unconditionally loved, just as you are.
