what you write [about “your” Auto, reminds me of what i write about “my” Matthew. Strange, but true. In this entry you wrote:

“Chances are you’re alone or with someone who makes you feel alone because you don’t even like yourself. It’s the unfortunate truth that ‘you have to love yourself’ is a rule you should live by first. So it follows logic to say if you don’t like what you see in your mirror, in your heart, in your head, what are the chances of real, working, lasting someone else if they’re your perfect match.”

My reply:
He who loves himself, loves me, who loves myself

Neither person is capable of loving another until they have found a real sense of love for themselves…little by little my Matthew is learning to love himself, and i notice that he has begun sending his love my way — I have released my addiction to heroin, slowly – I am learning to love myself again…and I too seem to be sending my love his way once again. Funny, how it always works out with those our hearts are too fond of to ever fully release.

Auto will open his eyes soon, realize how cold the world is without truth in love, a true love…you. Do not give-up, occasionally give-in, give him your all, but only after he has given you his all.

happily-ever-afters aren’t found as often these days, don’t let go of the potential you have in creating one of your very own.

good luck to you darling.
your writing is beautiful, inspirational, thought provoking..
perhaps you should share it with “him” someday..
