This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 21, 2009:
When I was hopelessly in love.
That was....four years ago? Since then I have learned to love myself above all and have a very high level of self-confidence and that I know I can make it on my own. I've had realtionships since then but have not committed becuase I knew they were deterrents in the way of my self-interest and may have made me alter my course.
My love must be as free
as is the eagles wing
hovering o'er land and sea
and everything
-H.D. Thoreau
I think I was a little at fault because I dared to and was willing, and I did, love another person more than I loved myself, and then when I lost that person it was devastating, but at the same time, I siezed the opportunity to chart a new course in my life and make my life about me and focus on my dreams, living my dreams, and not the dreams of a lost relationship.
I'm well on my way to achieving my dreams and would be more open to an involved relationship, but still I like to be single, and I also like interaction and relationships. Sometimes we get too involved and we become dependent on others for happiness when we should always be happy to be alive and free in america.
But again, I think I could love another person more than I love myself, but I will do this if and only if that person I find is like me and can realize their dreams and not have them altered by this type of true love. We must both be able to live our dreams and love each other, challenge each other, and help each other live our dreams.
