When It's Hard To Love Yourself Or Your Life

Sometimes it’s not easy to love yourself or your life. But when I consider all the other options I realise there’s nothing better than at least try hard to love. I can’t think of much in common between trying and love. Love is so total and trying is an effort that has one leg in here and one leg in there. Trying is an act of coming closer. Slowly, with dignity and respect, with good intentions and maybe even a brave heart. Trying to love the parts in you that you don’t love is to come closer to them. And the only thing that brings you close to something/one is awareness. To try to love hard is to become aware of what you don’t love. One day you’ll be so close to it so the distance that kept you away will be merged completely and love will be present. Awareness is love.
