I cannot emphasize how important it is to love yourself, that is the best love you can give and the best love you can receive. No other love from anyone else, no matter how awesome can replace this love. If you do not love yourself, you will feel like something is always missing no matter how awesome your relationship is and this is why some people stray in relationships because they always feel like something is missing, when in reality the thing that is missing is something inside of you.
I have come to a time in my life where not loving myself has ruined relationships and the ruining of those relationships obviously was not a wake up call until now. I am miserable and no matter the medication or what have you that is given to me, I'm still not happy. And it hit me, I loathe myself. I am my own worst critic to the point where it makes me emotionally unstable. And the crazy thing is that few people know this about me. I'm that fun friend that picks you up when you feel down and just wants to have a good time. The type of friend that sends you encouraging good morning texts to start your day. I'm over here encouraging everyone else in the whole world except me. I told myself I wanted to be a motivational speaker, but wait, I'm over here trying to make everyone else feel good about themselves except for the person that matters the most...ME!
It's almost like I forgot that I'm human, I'm some sort of encouraging robot that just needs some sleep and I'm ready to go. But the best fuel you can feed yourself is love. Love yourself to the point where people think you are arrogant, it is much better than the other side of the spectrum. And some days I wake up with the intent to be positive and uplifting and I do that with everyone else except me...like helllloooooooooo lol. It takes time I know, but you have to start somewhere, today I start with a blog, a few positive quotes, and some uplifting words on my whiteboard. Fake it 'till you make it!
