Relationships and Self-Love

At some level, we are trained to place attachments and relationships on a pedestal, and anything that happens to shake it might make us feel like the end of our world. The truth is that we cannot or should not take the blame for things that we didn’t do wrong. It is very important to accept things for the way they are, however painful they can be and try to understand if we have done anything wrong at all rather than just blaming ourselves for having failed. I think most of us, from having been thrust upon by certain societal norms and expectations, think ourselves to have failed. That is why it is important to keep ourselves before others no matter the circumstances. It is all good to love and be there for others, but not at the cost of our lives.
