allow people to speak highly of themselves and admire them for it. you don’t know how long they spent questioning their worth before they finally learned to recognize it. what sounds like cockiness to you, may be the result of years spent rebuilding themselves from the inside out.
a full heart loves freely because it knows love is not a performance. it’s an embodiment, a natural expression, a way of being, an instinctive flow, giving life to others and giving life to self,
no energy is ever wasted.
