I have learnt the importance of maintaining your identity, who you are, even though you may be hopelessly in love with another person. You should merge, you should fuse and connect, because that is what love is all about - connection. But as I stand here knee deep in love, watching people drown in the same, I have learnt how crucial it is to hold on to the essence of who you truly are. The person you were before you became an ember. You were an inferno. Hold on to your own flame.
Giving too much, loving too much, caring too much. These aren't bad things as long as you give yourself the same, love and care for yourself the same. If you give all the love inside of you away, you fall apart when there is nothing left for yourself, and this in turn, unhinges the bonds you share with the other person. Slowly, but surely, a relationship falls apart this way.
So listen to me when I tell you this, if you truly love someone, you must not forget to love yourself as well.
