Notes from meditation tonight...
To have others respect you, respect for yourself must come first and foremost. To love others, you must know how to love yourself. To know is divine. To be is to try. To fail is to lose, and to lose is oblivion.
Respect for oneself must come before any other trial in your life. Cast aside all fears. Respect yourself and others will flock to you. Stand strong and persevere. Those who would doubt you will come to believe you. Stand by the side of those who have hurt you. Time passed will reveal their mistakes, time passed will heal all wounds.
Cast aside the arrow in your heart that manifests your pain. Remove it as you would remove a thought of impurity. Strength to live will aide time in healing your wounds. Stand before your friends, not as a tortured soul... Stand before them as a force, a way of living. Show them who you are, the one that no one else will know. Be there for them when they need you.
Stand tall for her, and do not shame yourself by giving up. Be the man she knew, the knight that protected and sheltered her. Become more than the friend you were. Be there no matter what the cost to yourself. You are one of a kind, a miracle of survival. Wipe away your tears and stand taller than your body allows you to. Climb higher, and take her with you when she asks to come.
Love always, never stop. Never build walls around your heart. Be a true lover, one who loves for the sake of love and not for oneself. Love to give love, love to give happiness. Love to shine the blazing light of purity and strength in a world of wonder and enlightenment. Be there no matter the cost, no matter the pain. The arrows in your heart can always be removed. The arrows in her heart cannot be.
Follow your path. Follow your emotions and your guides. Your feelings tell you the true way through life. Never absolve yourself of the promises you have made. She is there, you are there. Be there always, for she is your goal in life and your true meaning of existence. Build yourself, as it builds her with you. Create the bond of joy and truth that you have longed for since the day you've met her.
Never give in.
