Finding the Love You Deserve
Start by loving yourself.
You have to teach yourself how to receive love before you find it in someone else. Otherwise, how are you going to accept the love other people have to give? They might be offering it right now, but you’re just unsure what to make of it. The first step, then, is to practice loving yourself. Forgive yourself for your mistakes, remember you’re human, and do something nice for yourself every day. Hell, do it multiple times a day. Make a sweet treat, spend some time outside, breathe deeply and think, “I’m glad I get to spend time with myself.” If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!
Find the small ways the world loves you.
Chances are, you’re loved more than you can imagine right now, you just might not be able to see it. Maybe it’s the way the barista knows your order by heart, or the way that stranger nodded and smiled as they passed you on the street. It’s the way the librarian knows just what book to recommend, or that person who chased after you when you dropped your wallet, wanting to give it back. Sometimes, love isn’t even human. The world shows you love through sunshine and soothing storms, a warm breeze or a hushed snowy landscape. It’s there, if you’re looking for it.
Never stop giving love.
True, love isn’t a contest or something to be bought. But it’s also true that you get what you give. People love to be loved, and they tend to give love in return. Do something nice for someone: offer a smile to the cashier, compliment a stranger’s outfit, take you’re neighbor’s garbage can to the curb for them. You make yourself more lovable every time you spread love. Just remember, though: you’re not owed love just because you do something nice. But you deserve love because you’re human.
