Loving you.
In loving you, I’m learning to love myself. · We’re always told that to love someone else we first need to learn to love ourselves. · But, sometimes, we can fall out of love with ourselves. · Sometimes, we can fall out of love with ourselves but not lose the capacity to love someone else. · Sometimes, loving someone else is the path towards loving ourselves again. · Sometimes, their love encourages that path. · Sometimes, they can accept the love given to them and shine a bright light on it. · Sometimes, they can inspire love’s exploration and the painful journey that might entail. · Sometimes, they can encourage love’s presence, truth, and vulnerability. · Sometimes, in doing so, they can enable us to love ourselves again.
