To love is to live. Even when others don't love you the way you deserve, if you love yourself, you become so strong that it doesn't hurt when the way you want to be loved isn't shown.

Thanks, dear one, for your insightful comment!

Yes, I agree totally…I spent many years trying to find the love from others I longed for, so that i would feel worthy of being loved…only to go through disappointment and heart break.

But then, in going through so much suffering, I discovered that the key to the mysteries of love is found in learning how to love, appreciate, respect and care for myself…and in that process, I have seen how beautiful, precious, special and worthy I am and have always been from childhood all they way through to this moment.

Now I stand in the light of that love for myself, free from the longing and desperate need for getting love from others. Instead, because I have learned to love myself, I am free to love those who come into my life to share love with me, and give my love without any fear of being hurt.

Its a beautiful thing to be free of so much shit from my past that others projected on me. Now, because I know and believe in myself, I am unaffected when people are hurtful. Instead, i am sad that they cannot see me well enough to love me for who I am…Its their loss and a damn shame.
