For as long as I can remember, I always sought validation from a guy that I liked or a relationship I was in and I never saw myself worthy to be with them so I was more fixated on getting them to like me. I did not love myself to know what I wanted out of these relationships, all I remembered was that I just wanted them to like me. It wasn't until 2 years ago that I realized that only when I truly love myself, will I know what I need and want in a long lasting relationship.
