I remember being so depressed and in what I thought were my darkest days. I couldn't figure out why so many "lovers" had come and gone. I thought I was a good woman. I thought I was beautiful, humorous, loving, respectful, genuine, nurturing and the list goes on... nothing wrong with confidence, right? Well I was missing one very important, necessary ingredient and that was love for self. I was willing to love someone, anyone. I was looking for someone who wanted to be with me but the thought of being alone with myself was terrifying. It took reading Iyanla Vanzants story and hearing her comment that if you can't be alone with you, what makes you think someone else wants to? In addition we place the responsibility of our happiness on others. If half the time we can't figure out what we want how can we expect others to know what makes us "happy". As you stated happiness comes from within, completeness comes from within. All anyone else can do is compliment what is already within us.
