I’ve spent years giving love but rarely slowing down long enough to receive it. I’m learning that letting someone care for me isn’t weakness—it’s healing. When I soften my defenses and allow love to reach the parts I’ve kept guarded, something in me grows. This journey isn’t just about romance; it’s about family, friendships, and every place where love meets resistance. I’m finally learning to let love come toward me, not just flow from me.
