WHAT IS LOVE?
I am sure that we all familiar with this question, but have we found the answers?
"Love is obviously a feeling but what kind of feeling is that? coz we sometimes love people who bring pain in our lives, yes some of the things that we love might bring happiness but does that mean the ones who bring pain are not supposed to be loved?"
There are soo many questions around the real meaning of love that even love specialists cant answer. grew up thinking that love is having a partner having someone that can handle your bullshits
Did I know my worth?
Hell no I didn't I stayed in a relationship just to prove a point .. To prove that even big girls can have someone or be loved.
But was I really loved?
Well at that point I thought I was.
I have downgraded myself for love being afraid to be myself thinking that no one will love the real me coz I found myself boring, so I had to put on a mask every day just to be loved
Living in a society that says a woman must submit to her partner made it even worse coz I stayed even if I knew deep down that there's no love here
I needed to be told that I was loved and beautiful coz I didn't have that in me I settled just to only hear those words only to realize that I didn't know what love was
I had to be on my own and trust me it wasn't easy to dig deep look in the mirror and teach myself how to love me.
I hated soo many things that I saw in the mirror the fact that I was big disgusted me but again I asked myself this question" if I don't love me who will" I still do sometimes when I feel low
That helped me to learn how to love myself it wasn't easy I mean I had to teach myself how to love me
And that led me to know
"WHAT IS LOVE "
" LOVE IS
ACCEPTING
WHO YOU ARE"
