Self-Love

Self-Love

I was battling with self-love for a while and I thought that I would never heal from the pain that I endured throughout the course of my life. I had to learn how to love me before another person could love me. I couldn’t sit and think of the what ifs and the acceptance from others. I had to learn how to accept myself and love who I was as a woman. Self- love is something that helps you know who you are as a person. Can’t no one love you the way you love you. Can’t no one respect you the way you respect yourself. Can’t no one be loyal to you the way you can be loyal to yourself. You must love who you are as an individual before you can love anyone else. There was a time in my life when my self esteem was low. I allowed others to determine who I was as an individual. I allowed them to dictate how I looked. I was super self- conscious about my gap and my weight. Now I embrace both and I love it. When people seen that I didn’t care about what they said they stopped talking. Confidence shows up on you and shows out. The love I have for myself you would’ve never thought that I had a self-love issue. The love I have for myself is something that I determined on my own. You don’t let other people that don’t know you define who you really are. You must stay true to yourself and love the skin you’re in. No matter how big or how small you are you let your light shine brighter then what the HATERS are talking about. Because you have something no one else has and that’s confidence and a love for yourself that no one has ever seen before.
