You have always been loved. 1

You are loved 2
By those you knew,

And by those you did not know 3

By those you loved, 4

And by those you did not love. 5

You are loved by the earth, sky, and trees, 6

And by things you cannot see. 7

People will fail you, and hurt you, 8

They will love you wrong, 9

Forget you, 10

And fail to apologize. 11

No one is perfect. 12

Still, everyone deserves to be loved. 13

Everyone is valuable, 14

Everyone is unique, and also a part of what surrounds them. 15

If you cannot value yourself, 16
you are still learning how to love,

And that is okay 17

Because love has followed you always. 18

You do not have to do anything to earn love. 19

You have it always. 20

And you should never have to prove love. 21

Your love belongs to you and is your own. 22

And it is no one else’s business. 23

You do not have to compromise yourself for love 24

For love has many, many faces, 25

And you can and should be loved for exactly who you are. 26

You are beautiful. 27

You are important, 28

And you are loved. 29

What you know, what you love, and how you love, 30

All of these are unique to you. 31

And you have all of these to give. 32

Surround yourself with the things that love you. 33

Surround yourself with the things you love. 34

And celebrate all of it. 35

Today is a marvelous day. 36

Because, as every other day, 37

Whether you feel it or not, 38

You are loved. 39
