This post is about self-respect.
As a child, i always respected my elders. Looking up to adults, understanding that those older than me were those wiser than me, that those who had had more time to grow were often those who had obtained more knowledge than me.
respect was always easy to give, it still is. Do something to impress me, be kind, be good, be intelligent, thoughtful, anything honestly, and you will probably earn my respect. it doesn't take much, but it must be significant.
however i never really put together the understanding that in order to gain respect you must give it; not only to other people, but most importantly, you must give respect to yourself.
why this has and is one of the most difficult things for me to grasp, i will never understand. I am a person deserving of respect, i know i am.
