What Is Love?

Blog City - Day 1071

Happy Valentine’s Day, Blog City!

Prompt: Talking about love, what do you think about people who believe the ideas on love that belong to others rather than finding out what love is for themselves and the persons who are always looking for their next love but do not work on trying to love themselves?

I think it is important to know yourself and what you want in life before you can share that life with another. I also believe you need to be able to love yourself before you can love another person. We all bring baggage and scars into new relationships. Being able to love yourself and work on what needs improvement helps to ease those old scars and lessen the baggage. Those things never go away, but self awareness makes you knowledgeable about trigger points and helps lessen the friction of life. Being open and honest with another who is equally open and honest makes for a connection that is stronger than two self absorbed souls trying to find love outside themselves - expecting their mate to give them all they need.
