Despite what all the philosophers and poets and songwriters (Including me) say, I really believe that people can exhaust their supply of love and that there comes a time when we must simply love ourselves first.

Your quote reminds me of love thy neighbor as thyself. We must first love ourselves and everything else follow.

This was hard for me to nuzzle up to because I was raised Catholic and I recall believing the love of self was conceit and that was a sin. Those nuns had such influence.

I'm still grateful for those lessons. I consider them the jumping board for the rest of the journey....
