love.  perhaps the most important love of all is self love.  you must see the value in yourself before you can truly share yourself or your love with another.  after all, if you don’t take care of you, who else will?

is there a more painful punishment than indifference?  to provoke insignificant feelings in another, or to fail to provoke any feelings at all?  to be completely ignored and discarded?  i think not.
