Give

Written by Jacob Ibrag

I never meant to leave if that

was what you were wondering. Along the

line of us, you gradually began to give away your

independence. You became convinced that you were

irrelevant. I had to go, something had to give

for you to begin to love yourself.

    It hurts so much even just to read the lines.. It’s so painful.

    “I had to go, something had to give
    for you to begin to love yourself.”
    I appreciate this different perspective on love. How can we teach others to love themselves?
