What if you meet the person who could love all the different versions of you?

I can allow myself to be loved and increase my capacity to love by working on my boundaries. I say that because I tend to unfairly distrust men more than women, and that is a bias.

So it could probably do me some good to not be so standoffish toward men.

But to answer your first question, if I could meet that person, and get time to know and trust them, then yes, I'm much more capable now of loving them back than I used to be in the past. A lot has changed within me in the past two years. I'm more receptive and considerate than I was.

Gosh, that's easy. Love flows like lava. It consumes everything. That's why it's so powerful. If not, then it's not the real thing. That simple.

First of all I'd need to be able to love myself, otherwise I wouldn't be able to trust anyone who claimed to love me.

Second, I'd need to trust the person, which for me takes a long time.
