you need to be okay with yourself. with being by yourself and not feeling like you're empty. being satisfied with not only the person that you are, but the person that you turned out to be. only then, when you realize the potential, the greatness that your life could be can you be able to see yourself with someone else.

i mean, without you..what is there?

How do you know this to be true? Have you reached this point yourself?

i suppose that i don't know if this is true for everyone, but it feels true to me.

and i think that maybe yes and no as far as this being where i am in this point of my life. i guess i feel a little hopeful that by at least acknowledging that this is where i need to be, that maybe someday i'll actually reach it.

No, there is nothing wrong with trying to look at the bright side of your life. It's a good goal even though I feel that for most people loving yourself comes and goes with a drop of the hat. One minute you could be thinking about how much progress you have made recently in your life, patting yourself on the back and then think of some moment in your life where you completely fucked up, and the next thing you know your curled up in a ball on the couch crying and calling yourself a loser. It's just the last part where you talk about being able to see yourself with someone else. You know 99% of what you write in your journal is so honest and awesome. and I don't want to ruin it. But that sounds like it's full of crap. Even though it sounds like it might be good logic and advise, I think really it just turns into a justification for you to blame yourself for the past failures in your relationships. "If I had liked myself more than maybe he could have liked me more." No way. I have known a lot of couples that are happy together and they can be very self hating people. What about those words that you always here "I was in such a dark place when he,she walked into my life." These are not the words of people that have found themselves. These are not people that wake up every morning thinking about how great life is and how today is going to be the best day ever. I'm not even sure if those people exist. But as long as you bring laughter to others, and give friendship and kindness to others then you are important. How would these people get that without you? I mean you might be right, but I'm guessing that you can feel love for someone that has a ton of self hatred for themselves, so I would hope that there is someone out there for you that can love you even though you don't like yourself. Wow, maybe I read to much into your entry. Sorry :( the self hatred begins. :P
