Growing Younger

I have been surrounded by earthly angels.

You see, I have this false belief that love is based on merit. In my mind, I cannot be loved if I am not currently giving love.

However, even when I have nothing to give (I'm in self preservation mode), others still find the goodness in their hearts to love me.

I have the best friends.

And for perhaps the first time in my life it has sunk in: I am worthy of love. Not because of what I do or how I serve or what I say.

But simply for being me.
