Too many people criticize and judge more than they should. Rarely do people take the time anymore to make sure what they are doing or saying is out of love. Love is a powerful thing, more powerful than some people realize. Self love, love for others, love of the job, love for your country, love for God, and so many other forms of love shape our lives and we don't even recognize it as love most of the time.
Often times when we get hurt from a result of love we shut ourselves off from the idea. Loving someone or having someone love us becomes scary. Sometimes we even stop loving ourselves because we feel such rejection. I know from personal experience I'm very stand offish(when it comes to love) and don't put myself in situations where "love can happen". I have that hand stretched so far out that no one can get close enough to love(hurt) me again. Maybe one day someone will come into my life and hold that stretched out hand until I fell safe enough to put it down but until then the hand is out. Just because I was hurt by someone I thought loved me as much as I loved them doesn't mean my love for myself ever changed. I found this quote about self love “Encourage yourself, believe in yourself, and love yourself. Never doubt who you are.” - Stephanie Lahart. I think that is such a true statement and everyone should live by it. No matter what happens or who hurts you be your own cheerleader and own motivator and always believe and love yourself enough to keep going. Once you have that self love you can conquer the world! Nothing will stand in your way and down the road when you are healed from the "pain of love" you will give it another try. It doesn't have to be from relationship with a husband/wife or girlfriend/boyfriend, it could have been a friend or family member. Could be someone at school always trying to tear you down and make you not feel loved. Just remember the person that hurt you with love is probably suffering from not feeling love as well.
