True love is a journey of finding yourself

leia em português aqui

Is there another half of the orange? Of course there is, but you only find it when you understand that you are an orange and when you know every trait, acidity and sweetness of yourself.

How is it possible to truly love someone without first loving yourself in a genuine and real way? How can you experience true love without first revealing to yourself and to the world all the attributes that were once hidden, repressed, and judged?

This is something that only true love can offer—the ability to see parts of yourself that you denied for so long. True love makes you feel complete, not because another half of your orange has arrived in your life, but because it has inspired you to know and love yourself more deeply—your qualities, your flaws, and every part of you that for years just wanted to be seen, recognized, desired, and loved.

The other person is just a reflection of ourselves. The more love, compassion, and acceptance we have for ourselves, the more the people around us will reflect that back to us. And yes, there is that one person who will be your mirror until your very last breath.

And they are already with you.

It’s already yours.
