she must first love herself. that is the secret. ;)

This so makes me think of a friend of mine. EH is right, you can not make your happiness dependent on others.

Yes! You can’t keep looking to your friends, or your boyfriend, or your boyfriend’s ghost, for happiness. That has to come from within lol.

Very sad but a true realization so few ‘other women’ seem to come to on their own.

This is terribly sad, and oddly touching.
