Our potential for intimacy is dependent upon us finding ourselves in our truth, in our vulnerabilities and in loving ourselves. When we spend some time alone and we experience our stark separateness it is excruciatingly painful, but it is also in those times that we are left only to draw upon our own resilience to get us through. When we can gain that kind of trust in ourselves to get through and we can learn to love ourselves, even if by the force of being alone, we find ourselves. We find, when living through these bottoms, that we can experience pain we think could kill us, but we dont let it. We dont because something inside of us tells us its not over, we have more to do and so we turn inside, we turn to ourselves and we push forward with hope, faith and belief. We prove to ourselves that we are so much stronger than we know. As we trust more deeply in ourselves our capacity to love and trust others increases because with self-love we choose better lovers, better friends, and better environments for ourselves. We learn, through pain, abandonment and rejection, that our worth is not determined by others but rather it comes from within, in how we love, in how we choose to see ourselves and in how we live and achieve in our lives. As we go on after loss, our potential for deeper love and intimacy is alive, and we will draw those people, events and circumstances which match our new level of growth.
