Never Compromise Yourself

I've been writing this for a while now, and for some reason this is very hard to get completed. It's suprising, because what I'm trying to say is very simple: Never sell yourself.

Well, it is scarily easy, escspecially when your attracted to somebody. Attraction is a funny thing, because people tend to think that they are lucky to get the object (of their affection). As a result, it is tempting to try to fit into some "image" of perfect self. And that is very dangerous, because it's pretty much the opposite of what everybody should think.

This is how I see it:

If you wanna love somebody, you should love yourself first. To be amazed by all those things that are fabulous about you. To start thinking that the other person is very lucky to get you, not the other way round. And then treat him/her in a way that they truly are lucky to be with you.

I do NOT mean everybody should be very self-centered, not at all. By loving yourself, the opposite happens: you don't have to use people to make you feel better, as you're completely fine within your own skin. And then, you can treat other people (the significant other) with love and respect and without a doubt he's fascinated by your presence and charisma.

Jealousy: at the deepest it is nothing else but lack of selfrespect. It is fear of loosing somebody, not being enough. But how can that be? I mean, if you're feeling good about yourself, then you can give others the space and lives of their own. They're not going away from a person who's that happy being by herself too.

So be proud of the things that are important to you, and let the world see that you're happy. Never compromise yourself.
