I want to start with a question for you: do you love yourself? I mean true, unconditional love. Take a few seconds to answer, this blog is not going to go anywhere so you can take your time (if you’re busy, I suggest you take the time you need anyway).

And then I realized I wasn’t happy. And I wanted to be happy. As a result, I committed to a head-to-toe change, even though I was not convinced that another thing could work. I was insecure and scared. I was not convinced at all that treating myself better could work, because I needed discipline, I needed to tame whatever was wrong with me.
The only thing that was wrong with me is the thought of something being wrong with me.
The problem then was that I didn’t know where to draw the line between “loving myself” and “not loving myself”. As a result, I tended to think I loved myself when I wasn’t, just because I was improving. And that’s fine… if you keep improving everyday, which I didn't.
I thought it was enough because even one “I love you” alone was more than what I deserved. And it was not. I needed waaaaaay more than that.

Think about the person you love the most and think about how much love you want to receive from that person, how good you want to be treated… ok, now you have to love yourself at least a little more than that.
I bet you want to be loved by others. And, on one hand, if others are to love you, it must be that they se something in you that you should see first (mainly because you spend more time with you that anyone). On the other hand, if you love yourself, you are projecting the right energy; you are preparing yourself for accepting love. And living your life to the fullest.
Yeah, did you know that you deserve love?
