Real self-love is a total embrace of all that you are while simultaneously acknowledging that you have room to grow and much to let go of. - Yung Pueblo

When you train the mind to observe things as they really are, to take in reality without projecting your emotions onto it and without trying to control it, happiness will become more available to you — this is how you open yourself up to your loving human nature. Happiness requires intentional action, healing, letting go, and teaching the mind to settle into the present moment.

make you happy,
but i can
commit to support you
in the creation
of your own happiness

At its core, emotional maturity is a matter of improving your communication with yourself.
