Love me as yourself. You can't love me if you don't love yourself. This is the law of love. Because, what you can't give, what you don't have, your love can only flow to me through you.
If you are dry, I cannot be nourished by you. If you are dry because you nourish me, it cannot be established in essence. Because exploiting you can't nourish me, pouring the rice in your bowl into mine and watching you beg with an empty bowl can't nourish me. Sacrificing myself to meet my needs doesn't make me happy.
It's like putting a crown on me, but embedding it in my body, hurting my soul, and claiming that self-sacrifice is great. That's an old lie. You belittle yourself, but you can't make me noble. I can only learn from you "I am not worth it". There is no nourishment in self-sacrifice, only expectation, pressure and burden.
If I don't meet your expectations, what I take away from you is no longer nutrition, but poison. It can produce guilt, resentment and even hatred.
I hope your love is like sunshine, and I feel warm, comfortable and full of joy. I nourish and grow in your love. I learned to give unconditionally from you. Because you let me know that I am rich, connected with the source of love, never exhausted and always shining.
Please love yourself!
Love yourself first, then others!
Loving oneself is not selfish, and sacrificing oneself is not a sign of love. The source of love is there. However, unless you make yourself a conduit, love cannot flow to me through you. If you are connected with love, it will nourish you and me.
Because I love you too. If I love you, I must love myself first. Otherwise, I can't love you, and neither can you. The essence of life is endless flow, life is like this, love is like this, please take this opportunity to love yourself.
