Self Love

For a long time I've been hearing about it without having a clear understanding on how to do it. How can one love oneself?

I think this question is like those questions that are obvious to those know the answer and mysterious to those who do not.

After a few experiences and some analysis I tried to improve my understanding of this thing I call love, and tried to observe it in a few past situations of my life.

One of these that really helped me to understand was regarding a person I liked. I dedicated to that person my best efforts in order to show respect, understanding, being a caring partner, listening, giving space, beind patient and so on.

In the end, that person came to me and told me that there was no love coming from her side to me, and that was the main reason that "no sparks" kept appearing between us.

Of course that hurted me a lot.

After some time digesting everything, I could already recognize what was this love and all the deeds I crafted in order to express it and direct it towards that person. So I managed to see and measure all this feelings and good energies I dedicated. And that is something I understood can be called love.

Now I have a clearer idea of what it means, and I'm now learning how to direct it towards someone who really needs it and actually knows how to value it most:

myself
