And so it is that life takes it's toll... For it is not possible to have the happy without the sad, the good without the bad, or the skinny without the fat! It matters not what others think about you in the end, for one cannot control the mind of another. We can only learn to control our own mind. So, be content...
When you are happy, laugh; and when you are sad, cry... It is perfectly fine to express your emotions, as long as we do not self-destruct. It is easy to put yourself down and be your own worst critic when you have been put down and criticized and made to feel like nothing more than an earthworm...
If that is so, well then, love the earthworm. Let the haters go, forgive them for their acts of self-destruction, for whatever goes around comes around. Earthworms are after all, extremely important for the enrichment of soil. So too perhaps, there is no love without a pinch of hate.
Such is this mundane human life, this precious source of creation. I love it. I love everything about my life... From the moments of despair and depression, to the highlights of wonder and co-creation, there is nothing not to love.
There were times when I felt ugly and useless, but that was because someone made me feel that way, or did they? Was it just a part of me from a distant past, another life that was conjured up to make me face the truth... The truths that we bring from the beginning of time.
From what I have learnt, life is fundamentally a lesson about the self... For it is only when we learn to love ourselves that others will learn to love and accept us for who we are. It has been a long winding path for me thus far, and a difficult journey with self-love...
So I say to myself and I say to you... "I love you and you love me and we are free..."
