Despite what you may believe, you can disappoint people and still be good enough. You can make mistakes and still be capable and talented. You can let people down and still be worthwhile and deserving of love. Everyone has disappointed someone they care about. Everyone messes up, lets people down, and makes mistakes. Not because we’re inadequate or fundamentally inept, but because we’re imperfect and fundamentally human. Expecting anything different is setting yourself up for failure.

I listen to it now, and obviously life is different now, but still brings me such joy, and it makes me so happy and it just reminds me of a such a beautiful time in my life. People often don’t get to experience real, wonderful love, and I’ve had a pretty intense and horrendous 2013, but I listen to that song and it reminds me that I had the amazing pleasure of experiencing real love.
