I have been what you would call „single“ for quite a while now (at least compared to others). And even though I do struggle with that at times, I do have moments where I feel very different about it. It’s when I suddenly feel that with or without a partner there is Love and that I can just be fiercly in love with myself! And by that I don’t mean the arrogant kind of way where you feel better than anyone else but the simple feeling of: in this moment right now – I am enough!
I know it sounds crazy doesn’t it? Because we are constantly trying to get better at anything, to be different, to look different…
Whenever I am in that state I ask myself when we lose that feeling, because I am pretty sure we are not born thinking we need to improve. We do have an internal longing to learn things, yes, but it is not because we are not enough. It is so out of fashion to just be okay with the way we look and the person we are. And when you come to that place where you don’t feel the need to change anything anymore you start to realise that we are all living under constant pressure to be better, thinner, more successful…the list goes on.

I get to be in that content state once in a while. For me that usually is when I do Yoga. I think that is because it is an act of kindness towards myself.
Maybe you could ask yourself today: is there any activity that makes me feel like I don’t need to change anything about myself right now? Or anything that could possibly hold that space for you? Because, if I am not mitstaken, this world needs more people that are content and at peace with where they are and who they are, it needs it very badly!
I know i’s hard and I would never dare to say I have mastered this selflove game at all! But maybe we could learn it like we once learned to walk: one step at a time – falling back into old habits – and trying again!

At least I will! ♥
