you can’t embarrass me with chapters of my past that i’ve already made peace with. i’ve made mistakes, i’ve had ugly seasons, i’ve had beautiful ones too. all of them taught me something and helped create the person i am now.
loving yourself also means making peace with the fact that you’re not meant to resemble everybody else. there’s something beautiful about being completely yourself instead of constantly trying to fit into somebody else’s idea of what you should look like or be.
self-love isn’t just looking in the mirror and liking what you see. it’s knowing yourself, accepting your imperfections, giving yourself grace when you mess up, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, listening to your own needs, and treating yourself with care.
pay attention to how someone handles you when you’re hurting. the way your partner responds to your sadness, fears, frustrations, and vulnerable moments can reveal more about the relationship than how they treat you when everything is going well.
