Evangeline Lilly Instagram – Thoughts on self-love. Self-love is not passing everything you receive onto others. Self-love is keeping what you require for yourself. Generosity is giving from the overflow. Self-neglect is giving what you have not already eaten of yourself. Be it an experience, an idea, a feeling, a thought, an insight, a knowledge, an understanding. First eat and eat your fill, eat thoroughly before trying to pass it on to others. Otherwise your cup will soon run dry and you will become a specter, giving only in the desperate hope of receiving something in return because you are so empty, lost and bereft that your soul will die groveling for the very thing you just tossed on like it was nothing of value – not a treasure to behold, but a trinket to be traded. #selflove #selfcare #selfneglect #reflections #contemplation #kateausten #lost #oceanic815 #oceanicflight815 #flight815
