This video is awesome! It's often tough to ask for or accept love, because we feel we don't deserve it. It's hard to let someone else love us when/if we don't love ourselves. Newsflash: The chains are breaking. I've been to the bottom of my life- I know what it feels like. I have looked the boogeyman of depression full in the face and I am staring him down. I'm not afraid anymore, I want to enter into a better and higher place. Are you brave enough to face your pain and join me- in a place of healing?

Inheritor, SO true! I actually pushed God and other people away in the past- they loved me and it scared me to death! I wasn't ready to be loved yet, again because I didn't accept myself. I've also been the one pushed away for years because someone I love dearly isn't ready to accept my love for them.
* The greatest tactic of the evil one is to convince us that we are unloveable.*
if you can't be comfortable alone with yourself- how can you expect to share relationships with others? you have to love yourself and accept yourself before you can look at changing yourself. you have to be willing to see the good-- as well as bad-- because if you can't see the good how can you expect anyone else to? great post tl
Hi Betmo, your words are very true! I think this is often more of a challenge for women- as we have so many insecurities about our bodies, etc. Men seem to be more steady and though sometimes unsure about things, overall, I think they have more confidence.
What do you think, Guys? Want to add anything??
Go Trailady Go!
I'm there with ya!
Hope you are having an easy afternoon, and wishing you a nice evening.
In answer to your last question, I don't think men are necessarily more sure or confident about their 'ageing' bodies, I just think women are just more naturally conscious -
thinking they are not attractive enough, only means they are measuring themselves against some 'artificial' measure of attractiveness.
I think in Nature, the woman as the child bringer and child rearer is more self-confident
The male of the species is not necessarily more self-confident, but rather more able and freer(? to be more selfish, or to walk away.
The plus side is a good woman with children is assured companionship into her old age -
whereas a selfish guy...
These are humble and gross generalisations. Each person is an individual. Sharing makes the going easier, and the old age fuller. Learning to share assures a fuller life. Learning to live with the limits (and weaknesses) of others is a reality, no matter how ideal a relationship we may seek, or may seem to be to start with
I've been there myself Trailady. Good for you for standing up to that depression and seeking God instead of falling away. I went through some painful depressing times about 8 years ago and I wish I could say that I leaned on the Lord instead of blaming Him. Oh how wrong I was. I wish I could take those following years back and live them better. But I learned from it. I am glad you are feeling better
love shouldn't be one-sided .. to love is to give and get love .. it's an exchange of feelings :)
True Love is like feeling the sun's warmth from both sides :)
triallady .. thank you for ur lovely comments .. and yes Nahal is also the name of a Surah from the Quran ..
anyway .. yes sometimes the blogger becomes a pain when it comes to loading pictures .. two reasons .. one the picture u are trying to upload is too big .. check the size of the file (image file) .. it uploads if it's lower than 1MB ..
Second .. would be that blogger is just running slow .. so try uploading them at a later time :)
I liked the video a lot :-)
Quasar9, Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. :o)
Kristen, Everyone seems to deal with sadness a little differently. I'm glad you are feeling better!
Nabeel, You are certainly welcome. Nahal, Surah, Samrina, Arab & Indian names are so beautiful!! Thanks for the tips. :o)
Hi Wriju, Glad you liked the video. "I need you to love me" is the cry of every human heart...
Lovely video just like a lovely feeling LOVE :)
Well may b i m wrong but my views are bit different from Nabeel's.... love is not dependent, it can b one sided too, its not necessary to love someone that he/she also loves u, love is unconditional, its unintentional, we dnt love anyone with planning its just happen. Yeah if both parties got same feeling of love than off course its great but still if other dnt have same feelings for u than even u cant stop urself to love him/her coz feelings are natural n beyond one's control. I think if i m gonna start writting on a topic than u know i can fill up pages so i better stop here :)
Hope u doing fine there.
Takecare.
Hi, trailady. Keep on plugging through. We all have our trials. Sometimes for me it's loneliness or busyness or discouragement. But we go on.
Cool video! Didn't know they were "believers". Nice vocals.
Hi Samrina! You can "fill a page" here on 'My Journey' anytime. Always enjoy your thoughts. :o)
Tim, Yes, somehow we keep putting one foot in front of the other...
Gabrielle, Yes they are believers and they can really play! Three sisters- thus the name 'Barlow Girl'. I respect the fact that they don't flash skin to sell records. They just sing & play their little hearts out. Their sound reminds me of a cross between 'Evanescence' and 'The Bangles'. They have such a positive message for teen girls. I'm a big fan- whoo-hooo!
