Only you can have you feel anything. All of life and every person, thing, place, or otherwise context merely provides the opportunity for you to feel something. To what that is, is completely your prerogative. Such that when someone says something to insult or harm you, it is only you who decide to be hurt by that, what could harm another by allowing them to trump up their lack of security, could prompt another to laughter and sheer joy. Objective context and event is the same, subjective intent could also be the same… the difference? The chooser. This is freedom, that we can only control our mental actions and attitudes toward every thing. So then, in the context of a romantic relationship or companionship, the love we ‘feel’ from this other individual is actually our love bestowed upon ourselves, all they do is provide the context or opportunity in which we can choose that. With that in mind, the real block to feeling that way is less the lack of opportunity, and more so the chooser. If all love that is felt, self-love… then all of love is self-love to the extent that by loving ourselves and others, we love ourselves just as they do too. Universally, the love is wholly looped through every dividual of the whole.

Meditate.
