I love who I have become but that took time as I dealt with childhood abuse. I may love myself, but I don’t always like myself.

It is like going through the layers of paint on a wall. With childhood abuse, even when grown is worked through until the next color of pain needs dealing with. This process gets easier with time, but it is a life long journey.

I love my family, however I love the people who have counseled me; those who have taught me to love myself.

Yes, it is hard to love yourself some times, but that’s probably because I have to spend all my time with me … I never give me a break!

It’s much easier to love yourself when you have someone who loves you … because you get to see yourself thru their eyes, and that’s always a good thing I think.

Love is in reality nothing more than an assigned level of trust given to others, as they demonstrate to you they are worthy of such trust—-obviously there
are many levels of trust/love—-and we frequently err and assign wrong levels, and are surprised and hurt when we least expect it—but as you hear me say frequently, no matter what we do—the sun comes up in the east—one learns to roll with the punches—life goes on

I’ve learned to love myself, after years of hard work, but I give ~85% of my love to my family left on this earth–my brother, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren because they are links to my future and my past. I look at my grandson Jaxon and see my father, my granddaughter Veda has my stubbornness, and I could go on and on.

To my dead family members–biological mother, my stepmother who raised me with love and kindness, and my grandparents, I send my love every day. They are no longer on this earth, but
they live in my soul, and their unconditional love helps me get out of bed every day!

Great post.
