To some, loving oneself is so easy. To others, it is pretty hard. It’s easy because, I mean, come on. It’s you, right ? You’re awesome, you’re great. How could you not love YOU ? On the other hand, you made that mistake the other day, or you didn’t grow up with positive reinforcement from the people who claimed to love you. You aren’t sure what love is so how could you possibly know how to give the unknown to yourself ? I get it. All of it.

The only thing that remains consistently true, though, is that love has got to begin with you. It just has to. This isn’t to say that someone won’t come into your life and love you like you’ve never been loved before. That is always a possibility. But this is to say that life is only as full as you are loving…towards yourself.
