- My therapist: Look at nature. Look at flowers. We never walk into our garden and say "Oh wouldn't that flower be so much more pretty if it were taller? Or red instead of pink?" No, we don't. Because nature was created perfect just as it is. And so are we. We are part of nature, we are how we're meant to be, we are perfect just as we are.
Im sorry but thats bs. Everyone needs and craves to be loved. Love is what makes the world go round. It is completely in our nature to love and want to be loved, as long as you also love yourself
my friend, she’s coming up from a place deeper than needing love. she’s talking about desiring love–that is, seeking out love desperately because we feel it’s something we’re supposed to have in our lives. And while we should feel love and have its presence somewhere in our day-to-day interactions, to spend all our time searching tirelessly for that “last illusion” is really to waste good time and energy on directing that love inward or towards those that might already surround you.
