i have something to share here and it is coming from a very deep place. from a lot of struggle in my life.

love is a two way street.

self-service is absolutely necessary to be a happy healthy human being. it is not evil at all. to be serving other people all the time then you are neglecting yourself. and that is just as bad. because you are just as worthy of love too.

my point is there must be a balance of self-service and service to others.

i did this for 30 years of my life. i neglected myself and just cared about what others needed or thought of me. it got me so drained and defeated i nearly died.

so, in my opinion, service others and service yourself. in, out, in out. like breathing.

this was a hard lesson for me learned in a very hard way.

with love,
foo
