My life, my self-worth, my responsibility...

I have discovered in recent weeks, that if I place my personal worth upon the approval or acceptance of another individual, be they male or female, I am setting myself up for some serious heartbreak. All attachment, whether it be on a person, place, or thing, is still emotional attachment, but if I can release that emotion and be accepting and comfortable with the current moment, regardless of the situation, I have now taken responsibility for my own self-worth. Then, and only then, will I know real happiness.
