Be loved for who you were, are, and are going to be.

Be loved for your strengths and fragility.

Be loved for your laughter and tears.

Be loved for your bravery and fears.

Be loved for all of you.

And nothing else will do.

“This is the you I like. … But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow. I love that you’re fragile and tough, quiet and kick-ass.”

― Gayle Forman, If I Stay
