Share me with me.

Eartha Kitt, On love and compromise

During the end of 2018 I was going through a bad period that I was looking forward to overcoming and taming as quickly as possible.


Today, almost two years after that period, I am grateful that it seemed quite interminable, so that I was able to go through it in order to really overcome it.


As often happens, the randomness made me stumble in a video whose text I report here as follows.

“A man come into my life and I have to compromise?
You must think about that once again.
[Laughs]
A man comes into my life and you have to compromise?
For what? For what?
For what?
A relationship is a relationship that has to be earned, not to compromise for.
I fall in love with myself,
and I want someone to share it with me.

I want someone to share me with me”.


Too many times I put my love for someone else before the one for myself.

Questioning myself just because a man left overnight.
And how could a brave, smart, strong woman hope for his return? For living with the doubt he could leave again any day now?


I don’t even know what motivates people to ask for trust, love, affection, honesty.. to only escape after that.

Escape? Escape from what?
I don’t know and I don’t care.
Not my business.

And I should understand it’s not my fault if I trust someone else (that’s courage!) risking and putting myself out there.


But it’s been my fault underestimating myself for someone not able to be on my level.. of trust, love, affection, honesty.


It’s been my fault that I questioned this woman, wondering what’s not enough with me?, while I should have been telling myself:

I did my best and I deserve this best. Did he do enough?
Sorry not sorry. Ok, maybe now I’m not okay; maybe I still love you because I risked and I fell.. but I deserve better.


This is a message to all the broken hearted people out there like I was: Love doesn’t make you cry.
Love is the time for laughs.

It is not wrong to feel bad, but it is wrong to blame yourself.
Remind to yourself:

“I deserve someone to share me with me”.


In the hope that whoever needs will have the chance to stumble in it,
