Never Leave Yourself Behind
It has always been a challenge of mine to be able to give myself what I need, and yet be available and loving towards another. It is a hard thing to balance your own needs and those of the ones you love. We see ourselves as selfish if we put our own needs…

Love is not the reason we hurt. It is not loves fault. We hurt because we find ourselves in entanglements with others who don’t know how to love, or don’t know what to do with it. Not everyone is meant to love you in the same way, at the same degree or as…
