Love.
Came across this at my course last weekend and am sharing, because it relates so much to that codependent behaviour of looking outside of ourselves for external validation, the knight on a white horse. I need this particularly at the moment too. Hope you enjoy.
LOVE
No one is going to love you
exactly like you imagine.
No one is ever going to read
your mind and take every star
from the sky at the perfect
time and hand it to you.
No one is going to show up
at your door on a horse,
with a shoe you lost.
Do you understand?
That’s why you have to love
yourself enough, so that
any other love just adds
more candles to the cake
you’ve already iced.
