In loving you, I’m learning to love myself.

We’re always told that to love someone else we first need to learn to love ourselves.

But, sometimes, we can fall out of love with ourselves.

Sometimes, we can fall out of love with ourselves but not lose the capacity to love someone else.

Sometimes, loving someone else is the path towards loving ourselves again.

Sometimes, their love encourages that path.

Sometimes, they can accept the love given to them and shine a bright light on it.

Sometimes, they can inspire love’s exploration and the painful journey that might entail.

Sometimes, they can encourage love’s presence, truth, and vulnerability.

Sometimes, in doing so, they can enable us to love ourselves again.
