We wait and work and waste our whole lives away searching for self-love that external things promise to bring. And even when we collect these checklist items, the right job, the right home, the right person, the right time, no one tells you that you might still feel like you are doing everything wrong. And even if these factors bring you happiness and success, (which I hope they do), none of these external factors can make you love you, unless you choose to. But, you can. I want all of you, to love them, but still choose you. ~ xoxo. s. 🌹
