Loving is not leaving.
If you truly love yourself, then you choose to stay —
be it in life, in this world, or beside the people you love.
You cannot truly love someone else
unless you also love yourself,
because only then do you have the strength
to keep loving without breaking apart.
If you ever loved someone
without loving yourself first,
that love will always be temporary,
because a heart that is constantly emptying itself
eventually has nothing left to give.
Adjusting in the name of love,
never putting yourself above others when needed,
sacrificing every piece of yourself just to stay loved —
it slowly kills you inside,
and with time,
destroys the love you had for yourself
and for others too.
