There's the saying "In order to love someone else, you must first be able to love yourself." (something like that.) Does this mean that people who struggle to love themselves are incapable or do not deserve to love others?

I think so. I never used to give myself the love I deserved but as soon as I did, it has become heartbreakingly obvious that the "love" I've been getting from others, wasn't all that genuine and done more out of keeping me sweet so that the situation could continue to be convenient for them.

are they incapable to love others? >most of the time they are the one who gives love too much. and there they forget about themselves, forgetting self-love. do not deserve to love others? >maybe yes; maybe no. but one thing I know, we can't stop someone to give love to others.

Why do men wait until they're at their breaking point to speak up?

This is a genuine question. I haven't talked to my colleague in weeks. Figured he was busy so I didn't want to harass him with my girlie vibes. He finally sent me a message telling me he was at his breaking point. I gave him some comfort but I wish he had come to me before his breaking point. It... read more

Anger Issues?

Lately, I have been really getting annoyed over small stuff. My dad and I got annoyed with each other over almond milk. There is more to the story, but the subject alone was not worth it. I don't know why that is. Overall, not proud of myself.

Does such a thing even exist? Or is it just pretend and a thing for everyone to point to, so they can avert the blame from themselves for things?

Even if you feel like you didn't achieve much this year, remember the night you cried alone, the morning you pushed yourself out of bed, and those times you wanted to give up but you didn't. You survived those days when it felt impossible. You are worth celebrating.
