Give and accept
is probably more accurate. In any case, I’m not very good at either.
I should probably give up on this goal. I’ll give until the end of the summer and if there is no improvement, then I will give it up.
Sometimes you just have to trust and let go of the things that are stopping you from accepting. I had trouble with this for a long period in my life and did finally realize that I didn’t have to give anything up to accept love. Find someone that you can trust and just close your eyes and let go!
