Common Sense

This is what COMMON had to say in a recent interview and it made so much sense and really made me love him even more than I already do:

"That no matter how much you love somebody, you’ve got to love yourself first. If you’re truly loving yourself, you won’t allow some things to go down, and you’ll have boundaries. I was so in love that I gave up certain things about me, and that showed a lack of love for myself."

This is so true! And I feel like so many people really need to realize this. He went on to say that basically he had to experience this to learn that, so I know you really can't tell anyone something like this while they are in the relationship because in order for a person truly learn, they must do so the "hard" way. He was speaking on his relationship to Erykah Badu. Loving yourself is so essential to loving someone else. You cannot really love someone if you don't love yourself. Compromising is one thing, but completely losing yourself is another, and is a direct result of not really loving yourself.
