Asterisk Note: I hope it goes without saying that self-love matters and not subjecting oneself to abuse or neglect is both healthy and necessary.
My beloved well-being and happiness is as vital to me as my own.
He is part of me.
We are interdependent emotionally as well as in other ways.
How sadly mis-construed our concepts have become!
Ignorance of recent decades around this simple truth has been gargantuan.
A bumper-sticker while waiting behind a car at a red light woke me up:
"Just give me what you want."
I began with my father, giving to him what I'd wanted from him all my life.
I stopped running from my lovers and picked the one I will never leave.
Twenty-one years later we are so in love with life and each other!
Thank you, Matthew. Let's turn this shipwreck around!
