Can you have one without the other? I do not pretend to know. To have a love is a concept that I cannot capture. To be loved, I feel is special. I have yet to experience this. By loved, I mean a life changing love.
The illusion of love is a whole other notion. I do have experience of this. I’ve eluded love in a lot of situations throughout my life. This illusion has made me over analyse aspects of my life that I really did not want to; but such is life.
To love yourself for the person you are is truly tough. To accept yourself, faults and all, is one of life’s challenges. If we take on this challenge, we may fear that we will crumble. Fear not. This, I feel, is part of the process.
An ounce of fear is good. It is fear that keeps you from becoming something that you do not want to be. Fear keeps you in the game of life.
Live it and you will love it. I have no doubt.

Extreme ways
Throughout life there are challenges to face up to. Some battles we win and some we lose. Value can be placed on the smallest gestures; whether it is a smile or a mutual understanding to just let be.
I think it is important to recognise, the toughest of people have weak moments. It may not be obvious because a lot of people put on a fantastic show. They could be falling apart inside. They cannot lose face. They just do it; this is how they survive.
It is all relative, insomuch as to say, everyone has their own unique way of dealing with a situation. This is the beauty of the individual. This concept should be emphasized until the weight, that life can inevitably bring, is, not only numbed but, comfortably lifted.

My inspiration
The ones I admire most are those who handle the toughest situations with grace. The thing we all have to realise is that, yes, we all have a pile of shit in life. The basic philosophy to dwell on is that shit happens and when it does come flying, we have to go through it. Wade in it. But deal with it and come out the other side a better person for it.
Many of those who I most admire have no idea I do. I am in complete awe of their heroic, modest nature. This nature will be of great value to many. We should simply take the time to recognise it.
