Self-love is not vanity.

Self -love is not being selfish.

To love others, you have to know how to love yourself first.

We accept the love we think we deserve.

You can’t pour from an empty cup.

You can’t show others love if you don’t show yourself love.

The only one who gets to decide your worth is you.

How do you see yourself?

You are worthy.

You are enough.

You are capable.

You are beautiful.

You are not perfect.

And the truth is nobody is perfect.

Everyone is just trying their best.

It is easy to fall into the trap of looking outward for what we need.

Having a strong foundation with ourselves will let us know,

That everything we need is within us.

Your happiness doesn’t lie in the hands of anyone.

Exist on your own terms!

Work on being in love with the person in the mirror,

Who has been through so much but is still standing.

Love yourself!

How hard can that be?

Just freaking love yourself!

Enjoy your own company.

Protect your energy by spending time alone,

And doing the things you truly love.

Then you will realize that;

Self-love is the best love.
