For years, I’ve been pretty self-reliant.
In a lot of ways, I had to be.
But the theme for this year is self-love.
There’s a stark difference between hyper-independency and truly appreciating the person you see in the mirror. Inner and outer beauty. At your best, and at your worst. Flaws and all.
Accepting that who you are, as is, is enough. Learning how to be your own happily ever after. Because friends or no friends, SP or no SP, you are loved.
You should always love yourself first and most.
Give yourself anything and everything. Because you deserve it. Because you’re worthy. Because you’re allowed to be kind to yourself. Because you’re supposed to have nice things. You have to remind yourself that you deserve nice things.
Wine and dine yourself—and make it good, too. Eat only the good stuff. The stuff that makes you dance in your seat. The stuff that makes you hum when you chew. The stuff that makes you feel like you can finally exhale.
They don’t know, nor do they have to understand, the depths of your self-love. But they should know that you will absolutely go to war for you. You will raise hell and bring heaven down behind you. You really don’t play about you! That’s it, that’s all.
To know you is to love you, and who would know that better than you? How fortunate it must be to experience this sort of love affair.
And I would know…
Because for me?
“I’ve been waiting so long for a love like this…”
“… waited so long.” 🌹❤️
