Although society has a negative perception of being single, just like Queen Esther, it is important for us to experience a period in which we are single so that we can utilize that time to heal and beautify ourselves. Taking out the time to heal helps you to shift your perspective to believe and exude that YOU are the prize and not the other way around. After healing, you won't find yourself settling for less than you deserve or using a relationship just to fill a void within you. When you don't take the time to heal in between relationships, the same patterns occur in the next relationship because your same unhealed wounds continually reveal themselves in your every word and action. Love yourself first; every relationship in your life flows from the relationship that you have with yourself.
