There’s another duality, that of externalized or internalized forms of love. How easily does one see the different forms of what makes an individual up? Is there a clear line between these? Or rather it is a matter of discovering a different balance of emotional knowledge at hand? Either way, this is a point where you discover what is a mirror of one’s self through yourself or another.
There is similarities to what people see of you and how you view yourself. In that there is some love, but how much are we taking both in for ourselves? That there is an unfiltered love, one that is discovered through seeing other’s experiences and behaviors. How one sees others as beautiful or that of a monster. This is dependent on if they have found their own balance or if they have only reflected themselves onto others. Everyone has their own patterns, styles, mannerisms that can be found in others in experiences. Thus clouding the potential of another person by an unpleasant thought, emotion, feeling. However, it is also wrong to be extremely on the other end as well. Where beautiful is a pedestal of expectations which is too tall to actually reach. That is placed without really any rhyme or reason. Simply showing a love which was never given due to lack of respect or ignorance to really attempt to nurture properly. This can be due to family growing up and how those expectations were placed, can lead to a imbalance on how one views love. For to find balance is to have proper knowledge on the topic. To know oneself and knowing that you are truly enough. Having others around is a bonus that’ll enhance what you already have. Communicating with others and to experience their forms of love. To simply be different shades of yourself and to take in the parts you dislike and the parts you are growing to like more. To find a middle ground to simply exist on parts you are okay with.
There are various bodies of water and we have to figure out the ecosystem of our own. Whether this looks like an ocean or a pond, there is a balance and there will always be changes that challenge this notion. However, the overall notion of what you know of yourself both from the inside and from those around on the outside, that is what will keep your ecosystem intact. For those who are meant to stay will and those are only visitors will leave shortly after. Discover your emotional balance and enjoy the views that you notice from others close to heart.
