Concerning to Love Oneself
Finally.. something I can work with that's without "snarkyness"...Thank you.
I agree. Now to find a balance amongst all this chaos is what? Impossible? Why does our judgement of self-love (what it is to love oneself properly) seem to be overwhelmed, and in a lot of cases, won over, by extreme actions of lust and jealous charades and cold abuse?
How do we juggle this inherited masochist in all of us? I'm generalizing that we're all masochists purely for the sake of arguement, mind you...
Being in control of one's senses and decisions in terms of love and maintaining a healthy lifestyle concerning things like school, our jobs, etc seems to be one of the "distractions" and/or "reliefs" from these feelings. But, which is which (distractions or relief) and how can we know when to go back to giving our Love it's rightful attention? What are healthy ways to do so? Furthermore, is this where a partner comes in to play?
