illuminating a dark room

"let someone love you just the way you are - as flawed as you might be, as unnatractive as you sometimes feel and as unaccomplished as you think you are. to believe that you must hid all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else in incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room." -marc hack
