Stop waiting for them to accept you, to embrace you, to be proud of you, to love you.

Do you understand that by waiting, you are giving up the responsibility of your own happiness over to them? Don’t you get that life is too short to put happiness off? It is too precious to wait for someone to change to feel good about yourself.

They have their own issues. They can’t give you the love the way you want them to. It’s about them not you or your worth. You are worthy one hundred percent. This is what they know. This is probably their best. Maybe they even do love you but their way is so far from what you need.

Accept them. Love them. Embrace them. Forgive them. Wish them well. Don’t expect too much from them. Never miss out on life by waiting for them.

You can be happy now.
