Sometimes
I think I know what love is
Am I swept off my feet?
Is there magic in the air?
Butterflies in my belly?
Chemistry when we kiss?
But that spark is not love
when accompanied by disrespect
True Love always protects
True Love always enables trust
True Love always
cherishes, holds, supports, accepts
and I will settle for nothing less

i see all my flaws
i see all my “shoulds”
i see all my mistakes
but i don’t see me
today
I want to have eyes that are opened
to see me
and love me
just as I am
knowing I have
talents
skills
humor
love
I am worthy of love
especially from me

In the classic movie – Love Story
one of the worst lines ever uttered
and proclaimed to be romantic:
~ Love means never having to say you’re sorry ~
excuse me, huh?
in what world
is that ok?
If you love me
and you hurt me
You need to be sorry
You need to mean it
That’s what love is
Care for me
Respect me
and my feelings
Think before you
speak
And definitely,
most assuredly, most respectfully, most humbly, most lovingly
say when you are sorry.

Thank you Lord for loving me
In a way that no human could do
You are perfect
Your love is perfect
I can’t comprehend how glorious you are
I scratch the surface of you
I can’t comprehend how lucky I am
and have you in my life
to know you
to be loved by you

oh, ha ha ha ha
you are a jerk
I must hate you now
oh, ha ha ha ha
I am so naive
and I seem so strong
oh, ha ha ha ha
you act a fool
and I’m suddenly weak
oh, ha ha ha ha
I forgive your silly ways
how did I think you were a jerk?
ooh, la la
we are suddenly in love
and the world is perfect.
Relationships take real work, not an easy-bake oven.

Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is hopeful
Do I love myself?
Am I patient when I make mistakes?
Am I kind when I don’t meet my expectations?
Am I hopeful about all I will achieve?
Why does it seem easier to do this for someone else than myself?
Is it easier to love others than ourselves?

You cannot have me at hello.
I have more value
I deserve more respect
I respect myself
far too much
To allow your cute face and sweet talk
to make me forget my worth.
You cannot have me at hello.

Today kicks off our special February focus!
Remember today, we don’t need a person to “complete” me –
no matter what the romantic comedies say.
You know,
that’s actually a lot of pressure to put on someone else
and realistically,
no one would be able to do it
you + me ≠ a complete me
you + me = a complete us
whatever that may be

February is all about love, isn’t it? Whether you are a hopeless romantic or believe Valentine’s day is a Hallmark holiday, thoughts of love fill the air during the month.
For anyone who struggles with seeing their own value, February can be a difficult month. Romantic movies lead us to believe that we need someone to “Complete Me.”
So, for this month of love, I am going to post photos and messages daily on the Know My Worth blog and Facebook page to remind ourselves “I AM COMPLETE.” We are already whole, and no man, woman, or child can complete us. My challenge to you this next month is to remember it.
Invite your friends! I do hope you join in with me and the Know My Worth community on the blog or Facebook page, sharing your thoughts and encouragements. Much love to you~
