Sorry for not having some deep meaning, it just came to me when I read:
I don't hate myself, either. I used to, but I had to stop when I put the bottle down. I'm not a psychologist, but self loathing is very often linked to some sort of addiction or disruptive emotional condition, just by my experience with other addicts and other miscreants like myself.
I can relate to that - not exactly "putting down the bottle" but with the self loathing, being a miscreant and at the same time letting go of the self loathing. Not suddenly, but bit by bit in different scenarios of life, as I hopefully become a more mature person.
The phrase "Approach, friend" is from a song lyric that stuck with me.

A soldier calls out into the night:
- Halt! Who goes there?!
- ... Death
- Approach, friend.
