Loving Yourself
Love can be very wonderful and joyful. However it can bring heartache, pain and rejection. Many like my self with disabilities have trouble with love because of trust issues and fear of being rejected because of their disability.
Before expressing love and getting into a relationship there are several things that should be done by you. The first thing is to accept your disabilities as part of yourself. I see mine as strengths in my character, like the ability to overcome challenges and be independent. I have always been very honest about my disabilities. It is my feeling that if some one can not accept me for who I am it is their loss and not worth my time.
I always try to be positive in my life and surround myself with positive people. Who wants to be around moody people is my opinion. I also find many just settling for someone, ignoring their beliefs, morals and standards, because they feel they do not deserve better. Standards are important because they reflect who they are, for example I socialize with honest, strong, positive and independent individuals. No one deserves to be belittled and disrespected for any reason.
More importantly be proud of who you are and your accomplishments. That is one thing no one can take away from you. Be happy and love your self-first before loving others.
