I was addicted to love.
Love I didn't get from my father who I never knew, and that I had to replace with other people I barely knew.
As a man in his 20s, I thought it was the "cool" thing to sleep around, and get all the girls.
Little did I know I was only hurting myself, and my own self-image.
At the end of the day, many of these relationships had little meaning, and I quickly realized that the sex was the "bait."
After that the real relationship with that person would start..
All of those female emotions and intimacies that I wasn't ready to deal with.
Then I met a truly special person, one of the Great Ones as they say in The Bronx Tale.
She pushed me to be a better version of myself.
I sought help, and found out that I didn't know how to love myself.
The world had given me a raw deal as a child, and I made the mistake of interpreting this as a reflection of who I was as a human being.
After going through treatment, I learned that this raw deal was really a reflection of the man who left me before I could call him dad, as well as the abusive stepfather who followed.
We only see those reflections in a broken mirror that we look into ourselves, not knowing that someone else had shattered it before us.
Wherever you are on the road of life, remember that no one drives your bus but you.
If your intentions are good, you can veer off the road from time to time and know that your compass will always point true north.
If you're not sure where your compass is pointing, that's okay too.
Reach out for help.
Send me a message for a no-pressure chat.
I'm here to serve, and want you to love yourself again.
