When I don’t feel love for somebody else, it’s because I need to work on feeling it for myself. And the best way to feel it for me is to spend quality time with me.
When I get in a hurry, I may neglect myself. I may be insensitive to an aching head or an emotion that I need to process. My lack of attention to what ails me allows what ails me to grow and breed resentment. I no longer see the best of me. And when I’m irresponsible to my own needs, I create internal conflict. I know I’m betraying myself.
And I cannot betray myself and be true to others.
When I am true to me, I am true to you.
I see the best of you. And I love you.
