Inner Me: "What’s on your mind? You seem distant today."
Me: "I don’t know... I feel like I’m stuck. Like something’s missing, but I can’t figure out what."
Inner Me: "Is it something you need? Something you want?"
Me: "I don’t know... sometimes I feel like I want it, but at the same time, I feel like I don’t. Like when someone offers me what I need, I push it away."
Inner Me: "So, you want it, but you don’t want it?"
Me: "Exactly! It’s like I crave connection, love, someone to see me, but when it’s there, I pull back. I feel like I’m not ready for it... like I should keep it to myself."
Inner Me: "Why do you do that? You’ve always been there for others, always giving. Why not let someone give to you?"
Me: "It’s scary. What if I open up, and it slips away? What if they don’t understand, or I’m too much for them?"
Inner Me: "You can’t carry everything alone. You’re human, and it’s okay to want someone to hold you. To let you cry, to remind you that you’re enough."
Me: "I know, but… I don’t want to seem weak. I don’t want to be the one who’s always needing something. It feels safer to keep it locked inside, to just deal with it on my own."
Inner Me: "But you’re not weak for needing someone. You deserve love, you deserve to be held, and you deserve to have someone see you, not just what you do for them. Sometimes, the love we give others is the love we forget to give ourselves."
Me: "I just feel like I’m the one who’s always left behind. I do everything for everyone, but when I need something, where is everyone? Why does it always feel like I’m the one carrying the weight of my heart?"
Inner Me: "Because you’re trying to carry it all by yourself. You give so much, but forget to let someone give back to you. It’s okay to let them in."
Me: "But I don’t know if I can. Every time someone gets close, I feel like I have to push them away. Like if they see me fully, they might not like what they see."
Inner Me: "You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be you. And someone who truly loves you will love all of you, not just the parts you think are 'good enough.' You don’t have to carry the weight of your heart in silence."
Me: "I just want someone to hold me, to let me cry without trying to fix it. I want to feel seen, feel like I matter... Is that too much to ask for?"
Inner Me: "It’s not too much. You deserve to be held. You deserve the space to feel all of your emotions. And if someone truly sees you, they’ll understand. It’s okay to need that. It’s okay to let them in."
Me: "I know… but sometimes, when I’m about to let someone in, I just freeze. Like I’m afraid they’ll hurt me, or worse, they’ll leave me when they realize I’m not as strong as they think."
Inner Me: "But you don’t have to be strong all the time. You can be soft, you can be vulnerable, and that’s okay. It’s part of being human. The right person will see that and love you for it, not in spite of it."
Me: "Maybe... I just have to believe that I’m worthy of love, just as I am. And stop pushing away what I need because I’m afraid of losing it."
Inner Me: "Exactly. You are enough, exactly as you are. And when you stop hiding your heart, when you allow someone to see the real you, that’s when you’ll realize how much love you’ve been holding back."
Me: "I want to believe that... I really do."
Inner Me: "You will. It starts with you. Let go of the fear and let love find you. It’s waiting for you to open up."
I’ve learned that love doesn’t always come in the way we expect. Sometimes, it starts with loving all the pieces of me that I thought were too broken to be seen.
I am enough—beautiful, messy, and whole in my own way. And when the right love finds me, it will see that, and it will be a love that matches the one I’ve already given myself......

Just me having a heart-to-heart with myself, nothing mystical about it and trying to love myself a little more each day..
