A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it!
We were made to love and to be loved. It is a deep and essential need.
Yet sometimes, we speak with scorn about people who appear emotionally needy. They seem immature. Aren't there areas where we are vulnerable and need, too?
Is maturity really a measure of our ability to hide our needs?
With open eyes with a sense of humour, we can find appropriate ways to received and give more love.
We begin with loving ourselves and grow from there, discovering we can love others with our own boundaries intact.
I will never outgrow my need for love, and I recognize and respect that those around me need love too.
