This is so true. This was an excellent read, James. I loved the story in the introduction. It was beautifully told.

I must admit though, I am one of those people who flows only where I am appreciated. When I started meditating, I practiced unconditional loving kindness and it brought me unforeseen drama. People(men) assumed I had feelings for them. Some got attached to my kindness and started harrasing me with phonecalls. Wanting to see me. To spend time with me. I almost ran mad, James. I was so stressed, I started to loose my love. Anyway, I’ve learned to strike a balance. Now I say, my love is at 100%. The love I give is always at 100%. But whether or not you get 100% from me will depend on whether or not you appreciate me enough. Whether you respect my boundaries. Whether you, too, love me enough not to drain me. Not to leech away at my soul.

“Go where you are wanted,” I must admit, is a thing I do.

I am guilty.
