Follow-up to P.S. I Love You.
I’ve spent a lot of time on here talking about the different ways love has been a weapon in the wrong hands, and a salve in the right ones. It’s circumstantial why people define their choice of it, and the roots of that definition are sometimes hard to fight.
Loving yourself can sometimes be treated like arrogance, or even narcissism. Usually from those who own the title without wanting to be called out for it. The harder they call you either one, the more they may see self-love working out for you.
That’s your proof to keep going.
Proof that the momentum, the boundaries, the time management against those that shame you for redefining love is leading somewhere. A place that blocks their influence, yet inspired by their willful ignorance.
If things aren’t already messy during this growth, get ready for it. In some way you already are.
