I'm so imperfect! Wow! If I was to try and sit down and list all the stupid things I've done, bad choices I have made - well, I'm not sure I could even recount them all. All I needed then was someone to accept, appreciate and love me inspite all my shortcomings. Someone who could recognize the heart of Lindsay. And I'll never forget thinking that you can't find a person like that. They don't exist.
Having Kate really was the best thing that could ever have happened to me because it forced me out of making selfish decisions that were not necessarily always good. It rattled me back to reality, back to priorities. I grew up, I changed. I am aware of who I am and what I won't compromise. All I need now is a person to accept, appreciate and love me because I'm Lindsay. A person! With a name, a family, a story, a heart.
So now I know that the greatest gift I ever received was from the people who showed me love inspite of it all. And I know that the greatest gift I can ever give is to show people that they're worthy of love. We're all worthy of love.
Linds, this is beautifully written, and you are exactly right. I think when we're truly happy with ourselves, then everything else falls into place. AND this is when a great guy comes around, and why wouldn't he be attracted to you? The timing is right, you're happy and empowered, and don't forget gorgeous.
