The Beatles weren’t lying when they said “all we need is love.” Whitney Houston was onto something when she said “learning to love ourselves is the greatest love of all”… I personally feel that all people are good. EVERYONE MEANS WELL. At least that’s what I learned while working at eBay (I think). We are all born into this world innocent and pure… unknowing. Then we grow up… get hurt…. Put on facades to get along with people, coworkers…. strangers, whoever just to get through the day. People, understand that emotions.. words… body language - everything… EVERYTHING (affects) EVERYTHING (thank you Lauryn Hill). Literally… if someone said 1 word to you… it could be any word. Like “Hey.” Everything can affect the way that word is heard. The tone of their voice… The pitch, the octave, the decibel level… The look in their eyes when they say it. If they flail their arms like a whacky waving arm guy while shouting it….. SERIOUSLY…. One word…. WORDS ARE SOo POWERFUL. Emotions are powerful. If someone has a bad day and they react not-so-fabulously because of it… OTHER PEOPLE SUFFER. People please…. Don’t take your drama out on other innocent people!! Also if you see it happening to you… understand that maybe it’s not on purpose. Maybe they’re going thru a rough time too. Maybe their wife and kid are sick at home. The money is tight… they’re eating peaches in a can that come from a man (https://youtube/watch?v=uV14jq2n-jg&list=RDuV14jq2n-jg)….. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL…. When people are upset….. It’s because of a LACK OF LOVE……. that’s it. It’s so simple. Whether it be a lack of love from a significant other… a friend… a parent... sibling… whatever…. The most important one is a lack of love from YOURSELF. Think about it. Look back on your life. Every time you felt like crap…. Depressed… You didn’t reply to any phone calls or text. Just stayed home and had Orange Is The New Black marathons…… you felt SAFE. Nobody could judge you there… perhaps you ate… LOTS of comforting-comforting junk. Then you start to put on weight…. DAMN!… We all have muffin top season. I know I keep my stretchy pants handy cuz I’m only human. Your confidence is down, you feel like crap… you don’t wanna look at yourself in the eyes in the mirror. Perhaps you haven’t changed your undergarments in DAYS…. Shooooooooot… you ain’t loving yOself gurl….. Sure maybe you got hurt from something… Someone else. Maybe you’re injured and you can’t help it…. you can’t do all the things you love to do like work out or dance. You’re hurting yourself more by DOING WHAT YOU DO. Staying in that dungeon. Locking the door and throwing out the key. NOT LETTING PEOPLE IN. Not EXPRESSING yourself. You are REPRESSING yourself….. THAT DON’T HEAL…. mmmhmm. Just say’n. My fellow SINGLE folk.. We need to realize that we are in fact NOT SINGLE. We are PLURAL…. Me, myself and I…. We are in serious-long-term-relationships with OURSELVES and we should NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS than what we know we deserve.. LOVE YOURSELF….. Even if it means a little you know ;) (think about it literally)… hahaha but seriously though…. Take care of yourself. Take yourself for a walk. Have a fabulous team nap. Nourish your body well with something appropriate. Meet with a good friend or whoever. Tell them what’s going on. Like REALLY tell them.. “no lie no lie no liee-eye-eye”… Get some exercise, however you can. Flail your right arm as FIERCE as you can if that’s all you can do if you’re triple-plegic (I just made that word up). Don’t get complicated. Just LOVE. Then when those dungeon days come back and they WILL. Believe me, they will. Welcome them as a friend… sit with them uncomfortably. FEEL THE FEELINGS. Then reach out to someone you love/respect/trust… and that person will REMIND you of how fabulous you are and “let them love you until you learn to love yourself.”
