All of that is good to work toward but it doesn’t make you unworthy of love. In my current relationship, we both have flaws and that’s human. The important thing is just loving each other and showing up. If you can do that, you’re worthy of a relationship. I want to do everything else mostly for me and because I want him to be proud to be with me. He works to be better because he thinks I deserve more. I couldn’t be prouder of him for everything he does. And he’s proud of me too.

This is great! But, perhaps this insight that I’ve recently discovered might be of use to you. For the longest time ever I stopped trying to make friends, date, or even be with my family because I didn’t feel worthy enough. I needed to be perfect. But every time I’d reach a goal I’d raise the bar. Result: always alone. Without a doubt, always aim upwards. But, as long as your heart is in the right place, know this - you are enough, and you are worthy of love. So don’t beat yourself up too much!
