MEMORABLE MOMENTS 

“In wanting to find help for myself, I realized it shouldn’t have to be that hard. We all have the responsibility of fostering our mental health, and everyone deserves access to necessary resources.”

“Starting from scratch and allowing yourself to explore your definition of self-love is the first and most important step.” 

“There is a misconception that self-love is selfish, narcissistic, and sinful. When actually, self-love is when you are actively working to care for and encourage yourself in order to benefit personally and permeate those benefits beyond you.” 

“The 7 different segments of self-love: Awareness, Exploration, Care, Esteem, Kindness, Respect, and Growth. ”

“One of the main ways to cultivate and help your loved ones in their path of self love is to work on yours first, and then continue to work on it in tandem.”
