“You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worries
You belong somewhere you feel free…”

“…You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free…”

Everyone deserves happiness, comfort, stability, honesty, reliability and most of all love. It doesn’t matter your shape, size, race, or beauty. Everyone also deserves the freedom to be who they want to be.  It has taken me a long time to feel deserving (particularly in the romantic sense). Especially after having been brought back down to earth very, very hard (see past post: “Body Image: Fight the Fight“) and having to fight back to a place where I could finally see myself through the haze.

It’s easy to stay comfortable and somewhat content. It’s easy to settle. It’s easy to take the easy way out.  Who doesn’t want to give into that?

I have a hard time letting myself be vulnerable, and letting someone into your life intimately is the ultimate in vulnerability. But, how else do you discover what you want and need without letting in the possibility of hurt and failure? You can’t. So, you must gamble to move forward. There is that chances of ending up going backwards, but there is also the chance of finding something – or someone – pretty darn wonderful, or at least put you on the path to that…

“…Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by…”
