Dear Me,

You're a whole when you're alone or in a relationship with another person. You don't need someone else to make you feel a whole, better or happy. It doesn't matter if the world out there is screwed up because if you meet someone who wants to be part of your life, they will prove to you that the world isn't as scary as you think.

Always remember that words are cheap and actions speaks louder than words. Anyone can easily promise you the moon but only the sincere one would tell you that he can't bring you the moon despite knowing that it might disappoint you. Instead, he'll offer the best that he can. It might not be in the form of a materialistic object but your heart will feel his sincerity.

Date for at least a month. Don't rush. Don't be excited that someone new is interested in you. Don't let your guard down. You know how it's like to be trampled over after tearing down your walls for someone who does not deserve it. Don't you remember how it's like to feel helpless and unwanted because you gave nothing but your all when you should have walked away?

Find someone who gives you butterflies regardless if it's the first or the nine hundredth date. Find someone who misses you at 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Find someone who you can talk about anything under the sun or stars and be clueless on how time passed so quickly. Find someone who thinks about how you feel apart from his own feelings. Find someone who wants to connect with you on an emotional level and will understand your emotional needs. Find someone who wants to be there to scoop you up and twirl you around when you're down. Find someone who would wipe your tears and hug you so tightly that you can barely breathe while you sob about something that bothers you. Find someone who is proud to have you and bring you around to meet his family and friends. Find someone who will make time out for you despite being busy. Find someone who will never ever think of lying to you because they deem honesty as an important factor in a relationship and they will never want to destroy the trust. Find someone who will fight for you and the relationship, someone who will tell you otherwise when you feel negative about the relationship and try all ways to communicate with you. Find someone who will want to keep the spark going by thinking of date ideas and planning little surprises like picking up your favourite snack from the supermarket while he's on the way to meet you. Find someone that will look into your eyes and tell you things that you used to think was gross in romance comedy but you turned out liking how he did it. Find someone that you can be in your ugly PJs but he'll still willingly kiss you on the cheek and laugh at how ugly they are. Find someone who will be worried for you when you're out late at night. Find someone who knows how to take care of you when you're sick . Find someone who sees past your flaws and love you in every single way possible.

Be confident that you're good enough for someone else. Always know that relationship is a two way traffic. Give and take, compromise and take a step back at times. Don't keep scores and try to not have any expectations. Remember that we are all humans, we make mistakes. So forgive and forget. Don't let ridiculous thoughts get the better of you. Remember to give him and yourself space and time apart. Keep in mind that honesty, trust and compromising is essential in a relationship. And love more than you should when you meet someone deserving of it.

Last but not least, you're much stronger and so much better than you think.

Love,
Yourself
