It's not satisfying without Love!
In the past, I tried to have a relationship with a man who clearly didn't love me; I sure loved him though. Those were the days when I was as green as the grass in my back garden!
I remember loving him for YEARS but for ages couldn't understand why he was mean to me. Not only did he so-not love me, he was a Shepherd for the Devil; one of the most self-centred sons-of-b*tches to ever cross my path. He treated me as if I were an irritant, a bad idea, an after-thought and did everything he possibly could just to make sure that I stayed away from him so that he could look like a REAL bachelor. His need to be a bachelor was stronger than his need to be with me so therefore, he would never be able to love me.
Looking back, I hardly recognise the person who put herself through such an awful ordeal. I clearly didn't value myself and didn't take into account that in order for me to be happy and content in a relationship, I needed to receive love.
My whole world has changed since the bad old days. I love myself so much now that I've not met anyone who loves me more! Maybe some tweeking of the balance needs to be done.
But I now know that we all need love in our lives; either to give it or receive it in order to make our world a happy and cool place to be.
We need to love our profession in order to feel gratitude from it otherwise we hate every waking day that we have to go to work. The happiest people are those who would still do their job for free.
You also have to love your children. If you didn't, you'd abandon them in the woods after about 12 years. If I didn't love my children, I would have left home ages ago. Just packed my bags and left them to it, but I need to look after them because it would break my heart if anything happened to them.
As you can see from my experience, you need to love yourself otherwise you leave yourself open to all sorts of abuse. If you don't love yourself, you can't set boundaries and people will mistreat you.
Life is very special when we love who we are and what we do and those who feature very stongly in our lives.
I'm glad I found love again and had the foresight to start with myself.
