comes from the deepest part of our being. It is on of the most difficult things to truly feel, because it requires more than just an emotion, it requires thought.
I want to be appreciated and I want to appreciate the things around me. Just by recognizing this desire, you open yourself to the warm feeling of appreciation and let it flow over you like humid summer air embracing you in the tender relief of appreciation.
Then why do I feel like it is easier for me to appreciate than it is for others to appreciate me? I have been wounded recently, and think that people are trying to lead me down dark mental alleys where they can take advantage of me. I feel like my intellect, looks, and accomplishments are just a check on someone else’s list. How can I get away from these people are find others that are more like me?
