To love is to be happy with ...

... yourself, first :)

Hawaiian proverb and 5th Huna principle says so and I like it. He 'olina leo ka ke aloha - Joy is in the voice of love. Loving yourself in any situation - whenever shining and in happiness, so in sadness or aloness, whenever in joy and laughter, so in tears or pain, whenever devoted, whenever egocentric, whenever..... what a job!

To love (anybody & yourself) is also an art of forgiving and letting go. Letting go all unnecessary burdens, that prevents that Good Feeling of experiencing love. Releasing anything that prevents the flow. Flow of the river of life. Remaining pure and empty, to see yourself and others, to hear yourself and others, to be yourself and accept the other beings.

Loving yourself creates a space for inviting and loving the others. Giving to yourself enables to share with others. Nourishing yourself enables to support the others. What a Good Feeling.
