Disclaimer: I am responding to the following wonderful prompt, “a place to go when you need love,” — Diana C.

  1. Take the courage needed to have a sit-down conversation with yourself. I do not know if you recollect your infant years? Back then, weren’t you all about openly holding talks with yourself and freely express your emotions? I think it’s safe for us all to return to this human state, where catching up with our inner beings is normal.
  2. Frequent nature and be one with it. Did you grow up in a culture where parents took their children to the park? I think the early directions allow you to start the coexistence of humans and non-humans that you need now. So, go back to the grassland, play on the beach, chase butterflies, be curious about all creatures, and take a nap outdoors.
  3. I remember that making friends was second nature to me. It did not matter where I was: as I was cruising in the stroller, my smile allowed me to get warm greetings and small talk from humans and their pets. Probably, let’s get back to being the people we liked to meet along the way by investing in making the next person’s day by greeting and gifting a compliment if you feel well received.
  4. Don’t easily give up. Instead, try to retry until it makes no sense to repeat this act. You see, few adults can win a determination contest against a toddler! What do you say about this claim? You know best what areas of your life could use more intensity. It could be writing more and being patient while growing your “friendships/followings and linked remuneration here. Be as stubborn as a pre-school kid holding onto a forbidden toy and doing everything in its power not to comply with the external teacher’s voice reprimanding them.
