ive always heard that you cant care for others fully and whole-heartedly unless you care for yourself the same way. ive learned that this couldnt be more true. if you don’t have love, dignity & respect for yourself, you really can’t put your all into loving or caring for someone without having negative feelings of vulnerability or jealousy. pretty much, you’re relying on another person’s feelings to give you positivity within yourself. if anything goes wrong, your self esteem is shattered.
im going to start living this:
i will love others the way i love myself.
and, if anything happens, i still got me (:
