Finding Happiness from Within (part 2)

I keep hearing the phrase "If you don't love yourself, you can't love anyone else" and it's finally sinking in.  It makes so much sense when you really think about it.  It's a scary thought and it puts pressure on the person that does not love themselves.  It is extra work, you have to learn to love yourself before you can love another. Well shit, that's just another obstacle, just a speed bump.  You can learn to love yourself, you first have to learn that what other people think of you doesn't matter.  You can't let stupid shit get to you, and at the time, that stupid shit seems big and scary but once you're past it and you look back, you almost feel dumb for worrying so much.  It gets easier the more you do it.  You can't under any circumstance let another person's opinions affect how you live your life.  If nothing else, I am learning that this is a process that takes different times for everyone. As long as you're a good person, who cares what whatserface says. She probably has a closet full of bones.  ;)
