Love yourself

Today I realized that I’m not content with myself. I don’t mean physically, I mean mentally and spiritually. I realized I have a lot of work to do. But who doesn’t? Are we ever truly satisfied with ourselves? There’s are days when I think that I’ll probably end up dying alone or something. I see couples that seem so in love and I never see myself in their shoes. Maybe it’s because I don’t love myself. I don’t love myself enough to change some of my ways. Then it came to me. How am I ever going to love someone else when I’m not content with myself? You want to fall in love with your own self before bringing in another soul into your life. Any person can fall in love with you physically but what about your soul? I don’t know about you guys but I want someone to love my soul, to love me entirely.

Note to self:
Fall in love with the person in the mirror.

Soul Pancake..

I’ve recently been thinking about happiness. What does it mean? What makes us truly happy? Is it love? Food? Money? Well according to Soul Pancake on YouTube, gratitude is the key to happiness. I watched this seven minute video and I was in tears In no time. There were about 3 or 4 people chosen to call up a special person and thank them for being there for them throughout life. Some called their mothers, professors, sisters, or friends. It all just seemed to utterly sincere. They wrote a letter and read it to there special person over the phone. It felt so real, these are real people showing their love and gratitude for a person. I can now see why you can be happier if you just show more gratitude. You make others feel better and feel loved. Which in return makes you and your heart happy.

And who doesn’t want to be genuinely happy?
