Second Chances

The opportunity to try something again, often after failure, error, or a setback, with the hope of succeeding, redeeming oneself

or starting anew.

I have spent most of my life asking myself Do I deserve a second chance and my answer is given to me every day I am blessed to open my eyes.

But since meeting J, that question has once again been on my mind lately.

Six months is the longest that I have allowed myself to ever talk to someone seriously after the whole lost love thing a year ago, and then I was ghosted.

J has taught me to put myself back out there to be vulnerable again and see where it goes.

I used to believe in the fairytale life, kiss the frog, and meet the prince.

Methaphorically speaking, I thought I would never feel love again.

Do I deserve the happy ending despite my heart mending slowly from my losses?

J has shown me it's okay to be who I am and still want and be deserving of love.

Second chances come to us in so many ways and through so many people; we just have to be able to let go of the past to receive the second chances.

I receive my second chance to be loved by the one God has designed just for me.

Believe in second chances because they will save you from loneliness.
