Why doesn't it matter? It doesn't matter because I don't live this life alone. I live it with others.
There is also the point that those who love you see parts of you that you usually don't see in yourself. They often see the "sum" of you and not the imperfect details that each of us stresses over. And it isn't that they wouldn't love us if they knew the details-- often they do!
It's that they have the perspective we lack to know that the details are less than the sum, that they are "noise" in the larger picture of us.
Sometimes, believing in other people's version of you is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
You are sweet, tenderhearted, and lovable. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who knows that. I sure hope not! ♥
Right back at you! I know that you are a kind, intelligent, and generous soul. It's a pleasure to be able to count you as a loud voice in that "noise."
