Loving Myself

It is my belief that life on this planet revolves around love. Love is the most powerful force that exists. It is responsible for the happiest feelings I have ever experienced as well as the deepest pain I have ever felt. Whether or not I am sharing love with a special man at any given point, however, love can always be felt. Of course, there is love for parents and siblings, friends and pets, and even for shoes and cities. But the most enduring manifestation of love is the love I have for myself.

Having just moved into my very own apartment in New York City and starting my career in real estate, I have been experiencing certain moments in which I feel like I am living in a dream. My life looks and feels like something I had envisioned long ago, and it is hard to believe that it is my reality. From spending long hours at work to hanging out with friends in different places around the city and even time alone in my apartment, I am happy because I am whole.


I have realized that the one constant in all of these very unlike situations that take place during my days is the woman who is generating thoughts and making decisions each and every second. She is smiling, crying, thinking, and laughing; but at all times, she is in love with who she is. Yes, many others love things about her too. And it is her ultimate wish that a man will appear when the timing is right to build an everlasting connection rooted in the deepest core of the heart. Ultimately, however, it is this woman whom I call myself that I must be and stay in love with.
