“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” – Maya Angelou
My yoga teacher once said, “A True Love Story Never Ends.”
I’ve never been in love. Not with a man or woman. Not with myself.
Before love, comes respect.
It’s interesting what parts of me think is love:
eating those chips late at night
weighing myself
trying to preserve myself by constantly finding fault in others & myself
And what might truly be:
Sitting with uncomfortable feelings
Choosing to inquire within instead of eating
Facing things I don’t want to face: fear, social interaction, jogging, paperwork, feelings
Tackling hard things
Healthy Confrontation
I’d like to have hope again.
I don’t want to give up on myself, because I’ve come so far, and part of me knows that I’m worth it.
Don’t give up!! You ARE worth it!
Thank you. I don’t usually give up. But, I often get discouraged and take breaks.
And one day every part of you will know that you’re worth it.
I hope so!
In your honest and courageous ways, you are inspiring me. When I dip very low, I want to give up. But it just takes one person to be a fulcrum to change that downward spiral. Let us be there for each other – let us be there for our Selves. It can be so difficult. Progress not perfection. And let us look forward……Blessings! Blessings! <3 <3
Om Shanti. Thank you.
