“ For years, I wanted to posses love. I wanted to find it, keep it and make it my own. It’s only now that I realize that love isn’t materialistic. I’m so used to getting everything I want, when I want it.  I began to search for love in everything and everyone. Love comes from a man, right? Wait and be patient. I was miserable and I got lonely. There’s no way I can be happy single. I needed love and companionship and I need it now. I ran into a bad apple and soon I ran into several. I just stopped searching. I was and am in desperate need of myself. God isolated me to do just that. Loving me was one of the most uncomfortable things to do ever. I feel like I’m still waiting for love. Love isnt found. It’s created and then reciprocated. You have to become love yourself. You have to find it within you. Then keep it and make it your own. Become it. Breathe it then don’t let go. Love yourself first and then love yourself more. “
