PEOPLE DO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH THE SIZE OF YOUR WAIST, THE GAP BETWEEN YOUR THIGHS, OR THE SHARPNESS OF YOUR COLLARBONES.

They fall in love with your soul, your laugh, and the way your hair is always sticking up on one side. They fall in love with the way you hold one of their hands with both of yours, how tightly you hug them, and the way you look when you’re dancing. They fall in love with your unconditional kindness, your neurosis, and your exploding wanderlust. They fall in love with your book collection, the way your face lights up when you talk about your favorite novel, and how you spin your own stories. They fall in love with the way you fall in love, the way you sit on the floor to play with puppies, and how you devour your life with a passion.

And you have to fall in love with yourself for these things too, because your body won’t look like this forever (it won’t even look exactly the same tomorrow) but your soul is always going to be shining brightly and endlessly pouring your personality into the world. And that’s worth falling in love with.
