Love Yourself Before Loving Someone Else!

It has taken me several years to come to accept this concept of loving yourself. Sometimes we fall in love and get involved in a relationship without knowing who we really are or what we are looking for in life. We get so distracted in being involved in that relationship that unless it ends we can continue to spend our whole lives not knowing.

It was a bittersweet moment when my relationship ended. I had to take a harsh look at myself, at who I was, who I wanted to be, and who I was becoming. This wasn't an easy journey, just ask all my friends. The journey led me through a scary dark place of the unknown and that unknown was my true being. I had to learn to fall in love with myself. I know that sounds conceded but it's true. I have learned so much of myself and all the great qualities I have. I know now who I am, who I want to become, and how to achieve that.

It took many years to get here. I know the qualities I possess and I know that there is much more to learn and I'm looking forward to that. One major thing I learned is that I will NEVER love someone more than I love myself. I know that my future partner will be just that, a partner. I won't find someone to complete me, I am complete. I will find someone that is complete as well and we can come together as one whole.

So for all those that are going through a break up, I am here to tell you that there is light in that dark tunnel. Take this opportunity and go through the journey of self discovery, you just might fall in love with that person that you never knew about.

The following song really touches on how we can lose ourselves:

X-Static Process

Im not myself when youre around

Im not myself standing in a crowd

Im not myself and I dont know how

Im not myself, myself right now

Chorus:

Jesus christ will you look at me

Dont know who Im supposed to be

Dont really know if I should give a damn

When youre around, I dont know who I am

Im not myself when you go quiet

Im not myself alone at night

Im not myself, dont know who to call

Im not myself at all

Jesus Christ will you look at me

Don't know who I am supposed to be

Dont really know if I should give a damn

When you're around, I don't know who I am

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you

But in the process I forgot that I was special too

Im not myself when youre around

Im not myself when you go quiet

Im not myself all alone at night

Im not myself standing in a crowd

Im not myself and I dont know how

Im not myself, myself right now

Dont know what I believe

Jesus Christ will you look at me

Dont know who Im suppose to be

Dont really know if I should give a damn

When youre around, I dont know who I am

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you

But in the process I forgot that I was special too

I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you

But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you
