Acceptance

I usually want to slap someone when they tell me I’ll find love when I’m not looking. Friends have been telling me this for over ten years! However, I no longer want to slap the next person who says this to me. The older I get the more I realize it’s only when you start to love yourself that love will enter your life. I’m still very much single but I’m finally accepting me for me; full of life’s battle wounds that have molded me into the strong, honest, and sometimes vulnerable person I am today. I think when you love yourself there’s a certain energy that’s emitted. You have to take care of yourself mentally, physically, spiritually and be at peace with who you are before you are ready to let love into your life. I’m a work in progress but I’m getting there and am enjoying and also terrified of the bumps along the way to self love and acceptance.
