Love yourself first ! :)

That awkward moment when you put your heart and soul to describe some thing and you are met with a cold silence and nil acknowledgements! This happens too many times to people who express or write. But a writer keeps writing away even when what she does promises no hope to change the circumstance. That's the beauty of writing something you wish. It may not bring out the change you need. If may not wake up the person who is pretending to sleep but still you keep writing away because you hold it close.

Sometimes destiny makes us relate too much to people who may not be that close to us. Some may be expressive some may lack expression some may even forget to acknowledge. For some it’s too much to even give a small one letter reply for something you have taken so much effort to write and share. Even expecting the words "okay", "Read" & "will read not now" seems to be too much to expect in this
fast world.

Never express your deep emotions to anyone and especially to the ones who will not hesitate to ignore. It does not mean they are bad. Think of the good times. But by sharing something you hold close to someone who may not even acknowledge it is like giving a free entry ticket to hurt you. Then do not blame others for your mistakes and errors in judgment.

Never express your vulnerabilities or weakness to anyone so easily. Very few people may not exploit it. They may repeat it and hurt you in the same manner even after knowing what had hurt you earlier. This may not be intentional. It’s just something which becomes a habit. Any emotion if it is sincere is involuntary. If you have involuntarily exhibited your vulnerabilities or emotional weakness there is nothing wrong. You can't change what happened but you can always prevent your weakness from getting exploited.

For instance if some one ignores your emotions never show that to them again. Its not called ego or you don't value the other person unconditionally. It only means you are just going to hold yourself up fairly without hurting others by explaining.

You cannot love the world if you don't love yourself first. One should respect others for what they are and also respect one's own emotions. If some one is erratic with your emotions, it does not give you a right to be erratic with theirs. Their position and outlook may be different. What is important to you may not be important to others. And just because you respect and try to understand how others feel it is not guaranteed that they would take the same efforts in return.

Its okay if you had mistakenly given someone free ticket to hurt you by exposing your emotional vulnerabilities. At least don't extend the validity period of the ticket when you realize it.
