I had this all wrong for years, Reader...I don't want you to make the same mistake.

The mistake I made was thinking that self-love was any different than the way I loved my family or my partner. That TRUE unconditional love I thought I could feel for others but not myself

I believed that I could love my partner wholeheartedly, but then look at myself in the mirror and call myself a fat pig...

There is a lot of "fake" self-love out there in the world where people claim to love themselves but really they are insecure

❌ So, they judge other people and themselves because of that insecurity

❌ they put a lot of emphasis on what others think of them

❌and try to please everyone while neglecting themselves

then think self-love is just putting on a face mask and smiling for the camera. Say cheese📸
​

What I learned through making the same mistake year after year of getting into the wrong relationships, stuck in an eating disorder hating my body for no real reason other than I wanted to be skinny is...

Love is not love without respect

Still to this day, I don't love how I look 24/7 and that's normal. BUT, I still show up for it, I fuel it with good food, and I move my body FOR myself not despite how I feel about it

I also respect myself enough to say no to people who don't respect me and my time

I respect myself enough to ask for help when I need it

the war is over, and you are the only one left wearing your face mask and shooting at the world.

Maybe it is time to stop blaming the world and start respecting yourself enough to know that you have the power to change your circumstances, if you want to

but it doesn't start with face masks...
