I Wonder Why Solitude Is Not Appreciated More

@MrFinch I don't think it's selfish. My experience has been that I am a much nicer person to be around after having my own downtime and I have more to give. Keep me chained to you with little or no reprieve and I will eventually run out of steam.

@JaggedLittlePill being able to love someone for who they are, not what they can give you is the height of true love. Another fabulous quote that sums it up by Thomas Merton:

@GypsyMiss Great quote, great advice.

@GypsyMiss You can keep offering flowery qutoes..but quotes mean nothing in the face of reality.

Life is about relationships with other people. Isolation is isolation. These quotes are bullshit . Don't live life by quote.

Yes. Loving yourself is important. You need not be alone to love yourself. You can love yourself while loving others. You can love others without loving yourself. It happens all the time. You do not have to have been alone in order to love another.

Letting others be themselves is a given. Lots of people have a problem with this. I don't need a quote to tell me.

@MrFinch did you happen to notice how old this post is and the last time anyome commemted on it? November 2017.

@GypsyMiss so true! I love not needing. It means I'm free to make my choices and one of them is Dee with all herself stuff

It sounds as though you have a very healthy relationship 🙂

Like any relationship it has it's ups and downs 🌸 We are older and have experiences and have made choices. Complaints that I don't ____ or you don't ____ only cause more complaints. I think being greatful helps each other see each other and the world in a more peaceful and confident state. @GypsyMiss

Indeed. We should get naked sometime and drink tea

@ButtercupBabe Anytime! 🙃
