They say you can never find love until you love yourself. But what does that mean, or even imply? I mean; does loving oneself imply that there is no self doubts or that one never feel insecure - or is there any room for self awareness and critic at all? And if so, how much of doubting or awareness does it take to cross over? These are just a few questions I think about when I hear the saying.
However I do realise that loving one self, might simply imply that one love life and is content and comfortable in one's own skin. To be content, perhaps. But not necessary void of wanting self improvements. Besides the outside world can never truly see what is going on inside someone's mind, nor can the outside understand completely how we feel. I suppose we need love to grow, but we need self awareness to move on - if only to avoid pigheadedness and the notion of indifference.
Absolvo amitto, amplus brevis: Semper mea.

I take it to mean that we need to first be comfortable in our own skin in order to love another. If we are not comfortable in our own presence how could we be comfortable in the presence of another entirely?
