    Thank you ❤.,. I went through an abusive relationship with my partner. The abuse was systemic. Before I knew it I was a big ball of who I wasn't, a victim of another person. Because of his deeds he received 3 years in prison. After is when I found stoicism and became the grateful Warrior I am today.. My whole life has changed for my betterment. My choices in books, research, writing skills etc have changed dramatically. I am that WARRIOR ❤...

    YAY ! Happy for you Terr. Keep shining your loving light. The group of us who seek self improvement and Spiritual awareness may not be in the majority YET but, as we thrive, others will notice; perhaps be inspired to join in The Light. It is happening now. A balanced planet is in the not too distant future. So good for you !! 🎉 Sharing our well being with others, who now are living a fear based life, is our gift to the Human race. I'll never quit making comments and telling my truth here in KZreadLand. Even tho ppl seldom respond, I know what I say is helpful.😅❤ YOU GO GIRL ! Your path is perfect for you. Keep on keepin' on ✌.

    This lesson has taught me well how to love myself and prioritize my needs first instead of doing what I think other's expect me to do so that everything that I do becomes genuine so that my goals can be met first before I can decide to help out other's and not get trapped with people pleasing to feel validation only validate yourself by completing those tasks that other's often avoid for yourself

    Your reflection on the nature of love and its relationship to selflessness is insightful and thought-provoking. It emphasizes the transformative power of giving and receiving love. I'm curious: How do you balance self-love with the act of giving love to others, and what experiences have shaped your understanding of the dynamics between self-care and altruism?
