Dear Someone: Your worth isn't measured by the order in which people choose you, but by the depth and authenticity of the love you're capable of giving.

Read this if you're carrying the weight of always being the next chapter instead of the first, if you're wondering why you've never been someone's beginning.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

Being someone's subsequent love rather than their first can feel like arriving at a story already in progress, like inheriting a heart that's already learned its first lessons through someone else's teaching. But there's a profound beauty and strength in being the love that comes after - in being chosen by someone who knows what love is and still chooses you.
