look within

"what have you done for me?" "what have you ever done for me?" "what has anyone ever done for me?" "nobody does anything for me. I do so much for everyone." why do your feelings of love depend on someone doing something for you? everyone loves differently. everyone feels loved differently.

you love people the way you like being loved. people love you the way they know how to.

sometimes it clashes.

you like getting gifts, but they always do the dishes.

they like sex, but you're busy making pancakes for them.

everyone likes being loved.

but not everyone tries to speak the language of their lover.

take us for starters. your cry for love is in angry snaps and irritated faces.

my cry for love often makes you feel I don't want you.

and we both love each other.

sometimes loving goes beyond acts of service or quality time - sometimes loving can be choosing to accept the other person - with all drama - exactly as they are. choosing love, despite the hypocrisy.

you say there's no ego in you, and yet someone else gotta be the first to bow down and say sorry.

you say respect is earned, but you don't give respect to people working below you.

love, is knowing that. feeling that. and loving you anyway.

because we all have shortcomings.

and I accept you with yours.

you're so beautiful. but you don't feel it.

how can anyone teach you how to love yourself?

no seriously?

isn't that something you stumble into, or practice consciously?

the love you're looking for is within.

look inwards. sit with yourself. when was the last time you did that?

you'll dig hearts dry otherwise - can't you see?
