I accept that a warm, loving, committed relationship is mine right now.

Some people keep a guest room ready for years for someone who never visits. It is a small act of readiness that quietly becomes its own form of waiting.

The deserving was never a queue you had to reach the front of. Not once the job settles, not after the next stretch of self-improvement.

Accepting good things is a specific skill, separate from wanting them. Plenty of people who want love badly find themselves flinching when it turns up, because arriving means the waiting has to end, and the waiting had become familiar.

Let today count as the arrival rather than the preparation.
