You deserve this

I don’t usually make a practice of ‘stealing’ stuff, but this one really got to me.

I guess it’s because I seem to spend a lot of my life in situations where I am trying to help people who are having emotional difficulties, recovering from broken relationships, having feelings of shame, being unloved or disillusioned, experiencing depression and wanting to give up.

No doubt, some of you who read this may have a different opinion of the sentiments expressed, but it touched me quite deeply.

Here’s what Cody Bret writes:

“You deserve this.
You deserve someone who’s heart breaks when they watch you cry.
You deserve someone who feels your emotions with you instead of just sympathizing.
You deserve someone who will trace your facial features and the crevices and valleys of your body with their fingertips, so they can remember every part of you when they miss you.
You deserve someone who watches you out of the corner of their eye while you read a book and drink your wine, because they think you’re the most beautiful person they have ever laid their eyes on.
You deserve someone who will ask your about your day and genuinely care about the answer.
You deserve someone who wants to know every detail about you, like the way you like your coffee in the mornings, your favourite smell or what movies make you cry.
You deserve someone who will guard your heart and destroy anything meant to harm you, with loyalty running so deep in their veins that they get physically ill at the mere thought of betrayal.
You deserve to be seen.
You deserve to be heard.
You deserve to be wanted.
And most importantly….. you deserve to be loved.”
