You have no idea how much I appreciate your comments. <br />Now, the question is, how to get other people working on this when they still look at that which is outside of themselves to achieve happiness and fulfillment. Alas, the only thing I can do is write the blog post and hope it will resonate with my readers. <br />This is not the first time I've written passionately on this subject. I fear my readers will get fed up with it. Yet, I'm not sure there is anything more important to write about. All I can do is what I've done. The rest is up to everyone else.<br />Thanks again for validating what I believe and know in my heart to be true. I really appreciate it.Rick Modienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157314737543591048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834596026525717264.post-1231211900640720822010-09-12T18:37:26.447-07:002010-09-12T18:37:26.447-07:00Rick, I spent enough of my life trying to be every...Rick, I spent enough of my life trying to be everything to everyone else, and nothing to myself. While, I've yet to perfect the "No." phrase in my life, I've definitely learned that TRUE and REAL happiness comes from myself, from loving myself. Also spent enough time hating myself for who I was, because of the rhetoric forced on young people... ugh. I'm incredibly grateful to find a kindred spirit in the blogoshpere who truly thinks the way I do.chaoticgrrlhttp://chaoticgrrl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834596026525717264.post-46271252636576984792010-09-11T23:00:09.160-07:002010-09-11T23:00:09.160-07:00Amen. That's all I have to say.
Interesting...Amen. That's all I have to say. <br />Interestingly, as I wrote above, 84 people accessed the original post on this subject, and not one left a comment. I find that very telling. <br />What I write about here is something that took me a long time to discover. Did I think in my thirties I needed to love myself to get a partner? Not even. Gotta look at yourself, fellows. That's where it all starts. But I suspect until you're ready to receive it, you don't hear the message.<br />As my blogs attests, I'm a work in progress when it comes to accepting my homosexuality and loving myself. But at least I'm on the road. So many other gay men are not even in the direction of the road yet. I hope they get it one of these days. <br />Thanks for your comment. You are brave to have an opinion on this subject, which I believe makes a lot of people uncomfortable.Rick Modienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157314737543591048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834596026525717264.post-67186600753898156582010-09-11T21:30:25.720-07:002010-09-11T21:30:25.720-07:00Thank you!

To understand it's about the love of one's self that truly makes one attractive and appealing. <br /><br />If you can't love yourself, how the hell you going to love anyone else?chaoticgrrlhttp://chaoticgrrl.comnoreply@blogger.com
