You just have to allow yourself to be loved. Not run because things are getting good and you feel you don't deserve it. That's my superpower #dontrunaway #youdeserveit #letyourselfbeloved https://www.instagram.com/p/B6jj3QEFkprzkNZjN0mVi8K703Jdp9HKSwe_KA0/?igshid=14qdvm0el0qec

The saying that you have to love yourself before others can love you is really kind of BS.

I was out sitting by the water on this wet and rainy day and it got me thinking about all these quotes about relationships and finding love. Too many times I have seen this particular one come up and frankly it is a load of crap. I guess for those that are constantly trying to remake themselves this would apply, but for the most part I think most people like who they are. Also it should be clear that remaking ones self is not the same as working to better ones self. So for the most part, I am going to say people love themselves. I love who I am, I just do not want to be the only one to love me. And there I think therein lies the problem. Perhaps the better quote (and practice) would be that you have to let yourself be loved before others can love you. In this world of instant gratification, I think most people expect some magical spark to happen or something overnight. That is not how love works. You do not spark in love...you fall in love. It might not happen over a week, or a month, or even a year. It takes time to get past that initial barriers since we all have an image we let the world see that is usually not exactly representative of who we are inside. Some people protect themselves more than others also with this. Perhaps we all just need to spend more time with and around our fellow humans. Stop holding back and just have fun with people and let yourself see who people really are and never judge a book by its cover.
