"The world moves for love and kneels before it in awe"
~The Village~
They often say that love is almighty, the most powerful thing in the world. Yes. I'm sure many of you out there can attest to that. Sometimes, when someone we love leaves us, we feel that we are thrown into the deepest abyss, plunged into total darkness and we feel alone. Lost and unsure of who we are anymore and it seems like no one in the world understands you anymore. So you shut yourself out from everything and everyone else. But what you don't realise is that people out there are trying to reach you. People who actually give a damn about you although you refuse to believe that anyone can fathom your thoughts and emotions.
So how long can one hide away from the world and from the people who are relentlessly searching for you but getting pushed away as well? Most people seem to lose hope in the world because every single thing seems to be going against them and their will. But the world will not yield for you. You do that for yourself. You yield to you. When you cannot find love, ask yourself if you have loved yourself enough first. It always pays to take a small step before you leap. So love yourself a little bit more. Be at peace with yourself before you deal with the world. I guess that might come across to be a little narcissistic but i guess it pays to be just that much so. You'll be surprised at how you can go through with life that way. Somehow it's always easy to love anyone but yourself huh? Ah...the complexity of life.
People around you will never be satisfied with who you are. So who's left but you? No doubt you will set expectations for yourself...mostly the oh so common "i wanna be(s)" but at the end of the day, should everyone parish from this Earth, you are the only one who can love you, for you. And that is not very easy i might add. Why? You know why. Because we are all so obsessed with perfection. Everywhere we turn, we see the models of perfection. Rich businessman, gorgeous celebrities, stick-thin models, famous singers, wealthy politicians, sexy stars, selfless volunteers, beautiful voices, you go fill in the rest of the blanks. But who sets the bar? Who creates those epitomised figures of perfection? Us. We feel like there is always something missing in us and we spend our lives searching for things that doesn't even exist. Perfection. Nobody is and no one will be. So love your imperfections because they are the reason you are human.
Love yourself a little more.
