I’m Not Loving You Less, Just Loving Me More

Posted by: esteemone on: September 3, 2009

Hello There, I am back for a few moments after taking some time off for me. “We teach that which we need to learn the most” and I have learned I need to “take time out.” How have you been treating yourself? Have you been saying yes to everyone except you? Have you been the taxi for the neighborhood? Are you the only one at home during the time that one of the local “whiners” call and feel sorry for themselves all over you? I hope you know that people can pull you down faster than you can pull them up, IF they don’t really want to be pulled up. We have to learn to recognize those who just like to have pity parties and invite others to attend.

What am I talking about? Well, please read the heading again: I’m not loving you less, just loving me more. Take time for YOU! Take time for the person whose eyes are reading these words; love that person more. Stop putting off your life for others!!! Know that you are worthy of being loved; cared for; appreciated; talked with and on and on. In other words “how come it is so hard to express what our needs are and to ASK for what we need or want?” Why can’t we express our dislike for things we have put up with for years? Why?

I have gotten to the point that I think I have been trying to figure out the why so long it has taken on a life of its own. Trying to figure out the why and discussing the issues with friends and relatives become the solution for some of us. We don’t have to figure out our problems or solve any issues because we are working on it by talking about it. NOT!!! I realize I don’t have 500 more years to live, so I best get on with that which I need to do a little more of; not loving you less, just loving me more. Love, Peace, Hope and Joy to everyone that read these words.

Don’t count the years, make the years count!!!

Hi Shirley! Yes, it’s a year later and I found your blog, lol. I just wanted to say your post was a beautiful one, especially the heading. It hit home for me because I’ve been working on this issue for a long time. I’m farther ahead on this subject now than I was 1 year ago. I want to say thank you for validating what I feel so strongly about. I appreciate your honesty and “straight to the heart of the matter” words. Thank you for being you. :-)
