On love and settling for less

27th January 2015 By Jonelle

Too many people are willing to settle. They settle for jobs they hate, friends they despise and marry people they only half tolerate. I’ve been that person. I’ve worked those jobs, had those friends and dated those people but at some point I just decided enough is enough. I think sometimes we let people love us in the way we think we deserve to be loved. Maybe not intentionally but we honestly prevent ourselves from being happy. Maybe it’s time to accept who we are as people and embrace our flaws. If we love ourselves for who we are, then maybe we stand a chance at being truly loved for who we are by someone who we choose to have in our lives. Not just someone we are willing to tolerate.

Maybe we just have to make the choice and let love in. Maybe, just maybe, then we can be…

Hello, I’m Jonelle and this is my story.

Wow! This was a moment. Turning 40 when I almost d Wow! This was a moment.
Turning 40 when I almost didn’t live past 32. 
Grateful for every day of every year since then! 
Life is so precious and life is everything you make it. 

Thankful for all the opportunities I’ve had along the way. Thankful for all the people I’ve met and the leaps I’ve taken! 

Grateful to live where we do. 
Grateful for my family and friends. 
Grateful to live comfortably and never have to worry about being without. Such privilege in a world with so much struggle. 

Thankful for my pets who drive me nuts and love me endlessly. 

I’m looking forward to the next decade. Stepping more into myself and knowing who I am and what my boundaries are. The things I will not tolerate or accept. 

Just grateful for my life. 
The end. #HBD to me!
