I Am More Than An Option
I am not just a fish you catch through a net among others. I am not a contestant in The Bachelor fighting for your attention not to get eliminated. I am not playing on a basketball court as a reserve. I am not an option in a multiple choice question in your test.
And lastly,
I am not an option for you to put in a backburner, waiting and hoping for your attention while you look for the best candidate as a partner - someone prettier, smarter, kinder. Someone better.
For I am me. The me who will love you for who you are now and for who you can be with regardless if someone better comes along because if I love you, then I see you as someone who's already better than anyone else who will come in my life.
I am me. The clumsy ol' me. I make mistakes. I do things I sometimes regret. I'm not the most beautiful girl out there nor am I the sexiest and smartest. I have my moments where I break down and cry. I'm a disappointment sometimes - a failure, a mess.
However,
I am me. A kind-hearted and caring individual. When I love, I love deeply. I strive to spread positivity wherever I go. I smile at people, even strangers, because I try to see the good in others. I am pretty as beautiful as I can be. My body is a work of art, a work of God. My heart is as big as it can be inside my chest. I'm hardworking, diligent and disciplined. I try to make the right choices whenever I can.
I am me. The girl who loved you. The girl who wouldn't have given up on you.
But you set me aside as a reserve.
And I'm more than that.
I'm more than an option.
I am me and I deserve better.
