How do any of us really know what love is? At some point we have all asked ourselves this question or contemplated what that answer could be in the midst of a relationship or situation. Many of us have a tendency to base out definition of love by our current relationship status or maybe lack thereof. This issue alone raises many questions and sometimes gives us the answers that we may not be ready to accept. For us to truly understand what love is or what it should be, we must first and foremost evaluate ourselves. Many times we find ourselves saying that we love someone or in love with someone with realizing the lack of self love that we actually have. In order to allow ourselves to completely understand the magnitude of what love could really be, we have to ask ourselves how much of what we say we feel for someone else do we actually feel for ourselves? Whose reflection are you seeing when you look in the mirror? Most of the time the reflection staring back at you is that of a person who has been consumed by what you thought love was supposed to be like. Now don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that relationships are supposed to be perfect because nothing in life is. But there is certainly a definite line between being loved and not loving yourself enough to know what you may be subjecting yourself to is hurting you more. Once you come to this realization, you need to ask yourself if that love you think you have is worth the heartache. We must keep in mind that love starts within us FIRST. If you're not loving you first then no one is gonna love you the way you deserve to be. Always remember, in the words of my PNC, just because someone loves you, it doesn't make them good to you or for you.
