From Your Back Pocket Into the Arms of Love in Abundance

"We accept the love we think we deserve" from our friends, family and lover/s. Sometimes its hard to set yourself free from a relationship or SITUATIONship because you're afraid that you might never make such a deep connection again or because you've had this person in your life for years and years or simply because you're afraid of starting over or being alone. Yes you are responsible for your own happiness but you are Also not machine, the environment and those in it do have an influence on you.
That being said, the people around you, especially those you deem very close to you, do have an impact, even if its very little, on your well-being.
If you keep people in your life that constantly disappoint, hurt, reject, abuse and treat you badly - some problems will arise.

I for example have kept a few people in my life that have made me question my worth.  I feel worthy of their love and acceptance but it never comes and perhaps this is a fault on my part but still, their actions drive me toward an internal curiosity.  I begin to question my worth as a friend, family member or lover.
Of late I have realised that some people will keep you in their back pocket.
The place where you keep things that you don't really want but might need from time to time to stroke your ego or hold your hand while you're going through a tough time or for a quick lay.

I'm grateful for the experience of life, the good and the bad because there is a lesson in almost everything.  Awareness is the first step toward growth.  Now that I have come to the realisation that I clearly have some issues of worth and that I've been entertaining people that don't hold me in a regard high enough to validate their position in my life it is imperative that I begin to cut myself loose from these destructive engagements. 

I preach love and light and wish it for every being.  At the same time I feel that self-preservation and self love is a key component through which love for others should flow. 
That being said, I release myself from the jail of emotional slavery.  I slowly begin to climb out from the back pocket of those who do not wish me well and I proceed to run for dear life in the hopes that I run into love in abundance.
