I have spent many years in doubt whether I am lovable.
I have spent many years rejecting love.
I have spent many years struggling to accept people's love.
Finally one day I came to terms with myself! I am a wild child. But that doesn't mean I need to be tamed to be loved.
I had surrounded myself with rules, boundaries and limitations. I was negative for many years. But, like a caterpillar from a cocoon, I came out of the darkness, and decided to 'live'. I have a few scars. But that just makes me more strong.
And now it is easy for me to accept the fact that:
I am lovable.
I am in people's prayers.
What else do each one of us strive for, in this lifetime?
