One thing I started realizing is that most times in a relationship we aren’t dealing as much with the other person and their issues as we are dealing with ourselves and our issues. We tend to bring so much “stuff” into a relationship. Stuff that should be sorted out BEFORE we even decide to pursue anything with anybody. However we get involved with someone to fill a void or establish an emotional bond. Why don’t we fill our own voids…why don’t we learn to bond with ourselves. The love we hope to find present in others is a mirror for the love we have within. The person we are with is merely a messenger. We are responsible for creating those feelings of love. So why not create some for ourselves?
