My life has been a journey. As is every life.
What I want to ask is, When you are at a crossroad in your life
When you're 'lost". . .do you agree that you can identify better with yourself through love?
I'm in a place now, where I'm sure you've been before or will be at some point in your life. . .I'm afraid that I'm not living to my potential, that upon looking back when my journey is over I will say
"I wish I'd lived". . .and as a woman not much for regret this state of constant inner dialog is frightening. But, how can move on "down the road" I'm meant for. . .If I can't see the roads? If all I know is this. . .The one thing that holds true in my life, no matter how I change or how my world changes is my desire for love.
My desire to love, to be loved and to love myself.
How do you feel love enhances your ability to open up to youself?
Can you relate to my "take" on this?

Sometimes there is a void that love can fill, but you first have to discover the level of love you are seeking. Perhaps a feeling of "void of love" is really a feeling of "void of companionship".
What's the difference you ask?
Well, love as in boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse is a commitment and a sign of settling down. What if your not ready for life long commitment or settling down, but you need someone in your life? Now you are looking for a companion, which could be a very good friend or developing a better relationship with a relative...a confidant if you will.
Going into a relationship to fill a void that has not been properly identified can lead to a rocky road ahead. At some point in time you may find the void is still there or the void returns, and then what? Hard times? Maybe even infidelity or divorce?
Start slow and try and fill the void through more benign relationships. The void should be filled first and then true love will be just that...true.

Well...if you can follow me on this Fory...I believe quite the opposite. You can identify YOURSELF better in the absence of love. Cause I think you are looking for a romantic love to give you a stamp of self approval. Or at least make you feel.....focused. Can a second person know you better than yourself? See, there's your dilemma...without that love you feel lost and misguided. But in order to "find" the right person you first have to "be" the right person. Develop who you are, your talents, interests, goals, etc. and you wont have to find your romantic love....he'll find you. I've always said that love was a willingness to sacrifice. If love does enhance your ability to open up to yourself it's because it allows you to see a reflection of yourself in the other person....what are you willing to sacrifice for, what do you respect, what do you value in someone you love.

well in life you learn from mistakes, heartace, ups and downs all of those things can help to see or deside wheither your going in the right direaction sometimes love from people helps alot but to love one self is the greatest thing for you to open up and be more loving so you can be able to love anyone. It enhances me by me loving my self and that feels good and gives me the strength to do more, give more of me to those around me or in my presents as it also open new roads to my happiness the cross roads are always going to be there you just keep loving your self and nothing can stop you or make you feel like ones life is not complete. good luck out there life and love is the sucess to what you desire.

first off YOU HAVE TO LOVE WHO YOU ARE
and if you are not happy change
i went back to school at an older age and am now my own boss
find something you love and go with it
everything else will follow i promise i was there before but until i loved myself for who i was i could not be loved or love anyone else
you have to be complete to give a part of yourself in a loving relationship
find something you love to do and follow it it will take you to a love you have never experinced

I think .....you think too much. Try living day to day rather that day-dreaming about what "should be" or "could be". THAT is what living is. And as for love - unless it's the love of your family, it means nothing in the big picture. You can live a very full, happy life without a significant other.
