Description All we want is to be understood and loved for who we are.
But we can't ever be loved for that.
Because no one knows who we are.
And no one ever will.
No one could possibly know the depth of our thoughts
or the wickedness that lies quiet in all of us.

We can only be loved for the bits and pieces of ourselves that we decide to show to the people around us, hoping that we will also be loved for all the other little things that we'll uncover in the future.

Because that's what love is all about.
It's about accepting change and evolution,
about wanting to be part of this unique
and beautiful process.

I was only just introduced to your gallery and saw this piece among the beautiful diamonds of your photography. The words here are as wonderful as every beautiful photo surrounding them.

mein lieblingsteil ist "No one could possibly know [...] the wickedness that lies quiet in all of us".
we probably don't even know ourselves.

... well I had the exactly similar thoughts a few years back...
and one of my best friends / enemys...
I think a true friend is sometimes both...
because the ones who tell you the truth, without fearing to hurt,
are the ones, who will help you develope yourself...
asked me the tremendous question...
you want to be loved, but do you love yourself?
and I was shocked... after I realized that I hated me for a lot of things...
well and than he asked me... how should a person bare to love you...
if you even can't love yourself?
well after that... I was hurt, but I decided he was right...
"Nicht jeder der dich anscheisst meint es schlecht,
nicht jeder der dich aus der scheisse rauszieht meint es gut"
I hope I could give you a bit of inspiration... and maybe
you could help me with another question... sometimes

Ich hab' gewartet, bis ich richtig Ruhe und Zeit habe, um das zu lesen.
Mit der zweiten Zeile bin ich nicht ganz zufrieden. Einerseits muss ich Dir an der Stelle Recht geben, aber andererseits sind die Teile deiner Persönlichkeit, die du freigibst ja auch ein Teil von deiner Persönlichkeit. Man wird also irgendwie schon für seiene Persönlichkeit geliebt, auch wenn es nur die Bekannten Teile sind. Du gehst ja später darauf ein, aber innerlich ging es mir irgendwie nicht schnell genug, weil es ja so wichtig ist.
Man könnte das ganze auch so ausdrücken, dass man für die momentan bekannte Persönlichkeit geliebt wird.
Einen großen Einfluss auf das Ganze hat ja auch, wie viel man von sich nach außen dringen lässt. Die einen geben nie gerne etwas preis und andere vertrauen dem einen Menschen so ziemlich alles an, was im Kopf so umhergeistert.
Deinen letzten Absatz finde ich richtig toll. Da geht einem das Herz auf.

Ist sehr, schön geschrieben, besonders "We can only be loved for the bits and pieces of ourselves that we decide to show to the people around us" hat mich irgendwie berührt, ziemlich sogar. (Ich dachte bislang, das sei eine spezielle Männereigenschaft, möglichst wenig von seinem Innersten nach außen zu tragen, aber scheinbar lag ich dabei falsch. Es ist wohl eine Menscheneigenschaft )

. Perhaps we have to come fully to understand ourselves before we look to be understood...? It's a very well laid out idea, simple and beautiful in the turns of phrase and introspective, that glance towards the darkness that lurks inside our souls, each little regret building hills then mountains piercing the sky each according to his measure. It delves into honestly and the realization that love is not selfish, love is giving, if you do not change some things for those one you love, you don't really love at all. You only live a lie. "Bits and pieces of ourselves" quite a pretty way of putting it. A lovely piece.
