Your first true love, is your SELF love. First stir your inner love, this is your foundation. Why? Then you won't project needy and wanting. People can ADD to us, they can't fill an empty needy person.......
Your happiness, is your job for you to fill, it may take your whole life, to have you be happy. You won't find happy, you make you happy from within.
In long-term relationship, each push each other's insecure buttons, that is why half fail, your partner will trigger hurts, old hurts from childhood. So know your insecure side, then when triggered, as will happen, then you can work on you to let this go. Also in long-term, to use forgiveness will help, as we get triggered, we forgive and let go...
Build you up from inside out, then you won't feel alone. .....
To be
To be you as you (if you dare )
