Rollin' down the river...

Realizing that detatching has nothing to do with the value that others bring to your life will help a lot. It means you simply let go of trying to control anyone or anything other than yourself. You will become a stronger and more attractive person.
The only person responsible for our happiness, fulfillment, and wholeness is US. Relying on someone else to make us happy, fulfilled, and whole is unhealthy.
We alone determine if we will be happy. And you have to like yourself and respect yourself to be a happy person. It means respecting yourself enough to not be mistreated by others.
When we understand and accept that we alone are responsible for our happiness, then we won't put our feelings and emotions in someone else's hands.
