Love is generally a subject of immense popularity. It is discussed and written about endlessly, from philosophers to poets, in films, books, and music, and even in the world of marketing. Love exerts a powerful attraction upon human beings, yet it is almost always directed toward something outside oneself: another person, an object, an ideal, or a way of life. One may even love solitude, but it still remains an external object.

What rarely receives attention or love is the one who loves - the subject itself: your being, your essence, your person. This is especially true when you are searching for love or affection.
