Our Soul Needs Self Love - A Reflection

-
Often in relationships, we blame the other because they don't make us feel good about ourselves or they don't make us feel loved all day, everyday. Nothing and no-one outside of us can give us what we are looking for all the time. We need to keep looking within ourselves and nurture a kind, compassionate and accepting relationship with who we are. We should always love ourselves first to be able to give love to others and feel love from others. It fast tracks our growth.. enormously helping us achieve a state of inner peace that flows into our relationships even when the other is behaving badly. Our soul needs self love, but we should also appreciate the love given, and always love back.

Lucky are the few who finds their soulmate. And I have reasons to believe that I am one of the lucky few smile emoticon.

There is still the same deep hole. I see it. I fall in anyway. It's a habit. I get out quicker this time. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole. I see it. I walk around it. I don't fall in. I walk down a different street. -- Portia Nelson

I thought about this for some time. Why I felt no pain on my break up with my previous partner? there were no struggle, no regrets, just nothingness. In fact it was a happy break up. Months ago, I listened to my friend's story about her painful breakup with her boyfriend of 9 years. I knew the couple since from the start of their relationship. I wasn't expecting them to break up after all they've been through. I was expecting that they would get engage and get married. Infact, I was just waiting for their announcement because the last time we talked, she made a joke about them getting married soon. But that is not the story. This is about her pain and the processed she'd gone through compared to mine from my previous break-up. It was totally the opposite! As her friend, I can say I feel for her, I can relate somehow but only because I'm a woman too with emotions and had other other relationships before. But honestly, I haven't experienced being hurt so muc...
