Selflove

When I am looking to fill the love hole in myself am I looking outside of myself? Where does love come from?  Does it come from sex, sugar or medication?  Do I need to be validated by someone?  The real question is, am I loving myself?  Am I validating myself?  I look at people that enjoy a loving partnership with their spouse and often really want what they have; and perhaps they are looking at me and really wanting what I have.  The magic partner is not going to fix me.  The girlfriend is just another teacher, the relationship another lesson.  If it is a lesson in love, then what a truly wonderful lesson it is, but it is still a lesson, hard fought, requiring patience, discipline and sacrifice.  It requires love, unconditional, not romantic; patient, not passionate. The passion ebbs, yet the love must grow.  It is the same in the love that I have for myself, a far more important love if any other love is to be genuine and true.
