HOW I BUILT SELF LOVE

I used to think I’d be ‘good’ when I found the right partner⁣
⁣
That the love from another, would complete me.⁣
⁣
And it’s what I looked for in all relationships. ⁣
⁣
But then I looked in the mirror one day, and thought⁣
⁣
‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘥?’⁣
⁣
‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘦?’⁣
⁣
‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭?’⁣
⁣
Those questions made me pay more attention to how I was showing up for myself…⁣
⁣
I thought…⁣
⁣
‘𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱?’ ⁣
⁣
Look at the person every day and tell them you love them…⁣
⁣
Show up, do your best, and don’t sell out.⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐨, 𝐈 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐈’𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟⁣
⁣
When you look in the mirror, ⁣
⁣
Be proud of your achievements, ⁣
⁣
Forgive yourself for your failings, ⁣
⁣
And promise that you’ll show up for yourself every day…⁣
⁣
Love builds…⁣
⁣
 I train hard, ⁣
⁣
 I eat good food rather than processed shit⁣
⁣
 My self-talk is compassionate but honest, ⁣
⁣
 I’m constantly learning so I feel like I’m constantly growing.⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭,⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬,⁣
⁣
And that for me, is the meaning of life⁣

Happy weekend fam!
