“It is clear that self love is not found in the (many) mirror(s) or even in the pride for your intellect, kindness, virtues, accomplishments, etc etc etc. Self love is found in the truth that love is not a transactional object or service. The concept of value and exchange is a construct we witness so much on this fine earth that we forget that the invisible transcends these rules. Love is just in the air, as they say. In all the molecules and weather. Penetrating the self as much as the surrounding environment. It needs no catalyst or offer, although it may sometimes find itself magnified through one when your subconscious has dubbed that visitor an important symbol; but this act of storytelling is of your own energetic manipulation. Other than that riveting game, love is just there, at all times. To free yourself of the concept that love arrives with permission, with love-ability, with an exchange, or as a reward... is to see love for who it is and always has and will be. The baseline, the eternal bff. Unending, brainless. No scheme or plan. Just with you.” @sighswoon
