Dear Someone: The love you've been searching for has been waiting for you to stop searching and start being.

Read this if you've exhausted yourself trying to be lovable, changed yourself to fit someone else's expectations, and still feel like it wasn't enough.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

Love shouldn't feel like a performance review. It shouldn't feel like a constant audition for a role you were born to play. It shouldn't feel like holding your breath underwater, wondering how long you can last before you need to come up for air. Yet here you are, counting the ways you've tried to reshape yourself into someone worthy of love.
