I wish this meme had been tattooed/carved/stenciled on my body somewhere I could have seen it as a constant reminder when I was young and foolish. Oh the things I did (that we all do at times) in the name of love when it's not really love at all. I've been single for 20 years now and I'm far better by myself than I ever was with all the wrong people who I allowed to trample my heart and take up space in my life. As soon as I regained my self-respect and learned to love me, I no longer felt that constant craving to be loved occupied by someone else. In my younger years, I truly felt like a puppy in search of a yummy.
Self respect and love? You are eons ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to catch up! :)
Deletelust and love were always difficult for me to differentiate.
ReplyDeleteYou mean there's a difference? I thought is was like hunger and hunger on steroids. It's a good thing I don't run things! lol
