“I don’t have to be perfect or have everyone’s approval to be happy, or to consider myself worthwhile. It would be nice if everything I did was beyond reproach. But since no one is perfect, I’d better decide to feel worthwhile anyway!”

We’re going on a trip to Europe. Seems like it would be a good opportunity for him to ask me to marry him. But I’m trying to put that out of my mind. I want to be able to have a good time even if he doesn’t ask me. I don’t want inflated expectations to ruin the trip for me.
How do I put this out of my mind?
