#self-love

"Be real, rare, refreshing you! Fan the flames of self love and ignite your light!"

"We can't be so desperate for love that we forget where we can always find it; within."

"The most adventurous journey to embark on; is the journey to yourself, the most exciting thing to discover; is who you really are, the most treasured pieces that you can find; are all the pieces of you, the most special portrait you can recognize; is the portrait of your soul."

"A circle's unity and never ending smoothness is how we can aim to feel inside. Smooth, gentle, accepted, no rough edges, only love for all parts of our selves."

"Do you love yourself enough to BE what you love yourself enough to WANT?"

"For so many years, I couldn’t understand why every time I thought that someone finally loved me, like… for real, they would eventually turn to vapor. Every person whom I’ve ever loved is trapped inside of my chest. I’ve breathed all of them in so deeply that I’ve nearly choked and died on every soul that I’ve ever given myself to."

"When we fulfill our function, which is to truly love ourselves and share love with others, then true happiness sets in."

"The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore."

"I want to be the best version of myself for anyone who is going to someday walk into my life and need someone to love them beyond reason."

"You are not what others think you are. You are what God knows you are."

"Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you."

"True love begins when you accept yourself in your totality. Then, and only then, can you completely love another."

"I choose not to waste my energy hating someone and I recognise that their negativity drags me down, so I walk away from them."

"I’ve grown up defined by this desperate, undeniable, ‘can’t breathe’ kind of space inside of myself and I’m afraid that the diagnosis is fatal."

"I love him in ways that I can’t explain to other people. They don’t understand… it’s not their fault."

"Celebrate who you are in your deepest heart. Love yourself and the world will love you."

"I’ve always seen this in you, ever since you were a little girl — this hunger to love other people into their highest selves and it’s what has made me irreversibly and just so forever in love with you."

"YOU are your own guru. YOU are your own soul mate. YOU are powerful. Take the reigns and drive your carriage home to love."

"I know that this process of ‘me changing my life’ doesn’t just end once I set fire to this list of things I hate about myself. Tonight isn’t as much of a new beginning as it is a violent end and I know the real work hasn’t even started yet."
