We aren’t taught or encouraged to be with our Self. To befriend or even want to make love to our Self. But we are taught to prioritize getting our needs met and finding love outside of our Self. Whyyyyy?
I’ve asked myself… would I be in relationship with myself? If no, why not and what would make my answer become a yes? Would I make love to myself? Would I date myself? Would I hook up with myself? Would I marry myself? Would I romance myself? How can I ask of these relationships with others when I’ve neglected to learn to accept / embrace / nurture my own Self? Our Self is innately worthy. We are not perfect, we do not have to be completely healed or have it all in order to be worthy. We only need to turn towards our Self and say I want to love you — just as you are.
And this will absolutely impact the relationships you are in (sex, communication, compassion, meeting your own needs and also asking for what you do desire). And best of all, it will deepen your appreciation of YOU. Your relationship with your Self matters. I see you.
