Please Like Me

There is a quote or post that I came across yesterday that is simple yet brilliant. It is should be the rule that is globally recognized maybe even a law in some cases. It might sound crazy to you but if you've walked in my shoes, you'd want it in place too. 

The post went something along the lines of "When you don't like someone, everything they do will be disgusting to you". And, when I read that it was like a light bulb went off in my head. Like is such an important thing. 

If you don't like something, you won't give it your best. For example, if you don't like your children, you don't like your job, if you don't like your lover.....your not going to give your best. 

And, having a like for something has always been important to me. I've always been careful of investing my time in things I don't like because I'm not going to give my best. And, now I feel in my life, that I want to get away from certain people not because I don't like them but because they don't like me. And, I need to have people around me who are giving me their best. Not their best surveillance or something like that. Tell me where I am going to get a job so maybe I can pay my bills, tell me good things, and etc. 

And, I think I have really over looked being liked in the love department. I've made excuses for guys in some instances. Yet I realize that the reality is some men can't really like me or be close  to me. And, you start to feel like a job for some men. Something to be clocked on and clocked out of. Something to be paid for. Something to take a vacation from. And, it starts to sink in and you role with it because what better option do you have. 

I want to be loved as well as liked. I want what I give to come back. I want to feel like I'm making progress with someone. I want to build a connection and communication. I want to build a family of my own. I want so many things yet I don't want to lose the spice and variety of life. I want us to bask in it together and seperately.....yet always coming home. 

But, enough about me....the important thing to remember is. Like! If they don't like you, how can they ever love you.
