Everything.

I went skimming through my old MySpace blogs, things from last year and before that.

There was one titled "Stardust to Remember You By"; it was written July 16, 2008. Almost a whole year ago. As I read it, I realized I have changed, but not as much as many other people have.

Reading it still makes me feel good.

I hope you getting to read it leaves you thinking more about yourself.
Because we all deserve to be selfish to a point.

There's a background story to it: I found out a guy I really actually liked, just wasn't into me.
This was the result.


...I know there's nothing wrong with me, I'm driven, fun, a wonderful person in general; yet last night I found myself asking that question. 'What's wrong with me?'

All because I found out a boy wasn't interested in me.


Why do we think those terrible thoughts about ourselves when we face rejection?Is it human nature to automatically turn on ourselves when someone turns us down on the chance of romance?

I know many people who become so ridiculously hard on themselves when they come to terms with the fact that the person they've been pining over doesn't return the feelings. Some have been my friends, some are people I hardly even know.


But isn't it strange how you can just almost tell when people are lovesick?Love. It's one of the strongest feelings in the world. I'm a firm believer that we'll all find the most divine form of love in our own beautiful, disatrous ways.


That last thought returns me to the beginning of this. Loving yourself.Coming to terms that you're not perfect. No one is.Yet when you love someone, they're perfect in your eyes.....And it doesn't have to make sense.

Although, when you come to terms with the fact that you are completely head over heels in love, you also have to love yourself.


Loving yourself. The hardest thing that some people might ever be asked to do. Yet, the one thing that could possibly save us from shutting down the second we have to deal with heartache.


In the end, our salvation depends on how much we love ourselves.

Take comfort in the fact that you will be okay.Maybe not today.Or tomorrow.
...But soon....
Love is wonderful.And so are you, my friend.

We're amazing.

The idea of love starts with loving yourself.And you deserve the best.
