On the subject of love - part 2.

I just realised how my previous post may be interpreted, as though I am now teaching myself not to expect anything from a potential partner. That is not how I meant it.

The way I see it, once you start feeling good about yourself, and to get a sense of security just being in your own skin (être bien dans sa peau, the French say!), you will learn to trust your gut feeling. This will, in turn, lead to making better choices when it comes to potential partners - if someone is not nice to you, you will no longer give them the time of day! This is because you are no longer desperate to be with someone, which makes you better able to see people for what they are, not what you are wishing they would be.

Similarly, you will begin to attract, and to gravitate towards, people you may share a meaningful relationship with. You won't expect them to give you something that you do not already have, as no single human being has got that kind of power! Instead you will find, that if you treat yourself with love and kindness, so will the people you choose to be with (and it goes both ways, of course!).
