I love you. Maybe you need to hear that. If so, allow me to be the one to say it. I love you.
You don’t have to believe me. You don’t have to trust me. You don’t even have to keep reading this; I’m not going to. Just know that someone loves you. Namely, this guy.
You don’t have to do anything to deserve love. There are no criteria to meet. You don’t have to say magic words to receive love that is rightfully yours. You don’t have to chant “I’m special” three times, hug yourself, then affirmatively pat your own backside.
Maybe you mistakenly think love is something you have to work for. Something you have to earn. Maybe you’re a people pleaser, continually trying to win people over so they’ll love you.
But it’s not like that. You don’t have to work to receive love. It’s free. Love is a basic human right. Like water. Or air. Or SEC football broadcasts.
So I don’t know what you’re going through. But I know you’re a human. Just like me. Therefore, I know you need
love just to function.
It’s biological. They’ve done studies on it. Love is what makes your cells grow. What makes blood move. What makes a heart beat. This is legit, you can trust me. I’m on the internet.
Moreover—and you know who you are—I know you don’t FEEL any love right now. Which is probably why you’re still reading this poorly written article from some guy you’ve never met in Alabama.
You’re reading because deep down, you want love. But you just can’t seem to find it. Well, you’ve found it here.
So if that’s you, allow me to reiterate. I love you.
I love you if you are a total jerk, and you push away everyone who has ever tried to get close to you. I love you even though you try to destroy…
