Some thoughts to share

Received email on this poem from a friend.
She love this poem as she finds it meaningful:

After a while you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn...

We especially like this phrase (as usual we like the same things =P):

" so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers."

I guess to me regardless of Man or Woman, we've to love ourselves first.
Instead of just waiting for people to love us.
If we do not even love ourselves, how do we expect to love other people?
How do we expect other people to love us too?
Of course... by loving ourselves doesn't mean we've to be too arrogant...
haha... no one is perfect too...

Find my thoughts confusing? No need to be... cos you're reading a typical Gemini's blog...
Cheers... and have a nice day to all... =)
