Learn to accept that I will never be the person I thought I would become and try to love myself anyway.
Learn to wear that smile bravely when inside my world is shattered and I feel that going on is an exercise in futility.
Learn to cry and be grateful for the tears, knowing there is no shame in weeping, rather than slipping into my comfort zone of denial.
Learn to realize that I am much less important than I like to think, and yes, they really don’t care, so stop trying so hard.
Learn to appreciate that though I may not be loved by one I am dear to many.
Learn to stop, look around, take in that smile, see the beauty in the small things and memorize moments, for soon that may be all I have left.
Learn to love when I feel I have nothing left to love with inside me, and in turn learn to be loved even when I feel unworthy of it.
Learn to embrace my flaws, accept my quirks and appreciate uniqueness in others, rather than attempting to change them.
Learn to move on, close doors to the past and kiss you goodbye for good, when all I want to do is stay in this dream of us.
Learn to listen with my heart and not just my ears.
Learn that, yes, life isn’t perfect and fair, but that’s life and complaining won’t change a thing.
Learn to trust that though I may be terminally flawed, I’m not beyond hope of loving.
Amen
