You cannot love someone before you love yourself.
You say that you're happy, yet you aren't happy in your own company.
You say that you're a better person now that you've met him, yet weren't you a fantastic person before?
You say that you can't live without him, yet you have all the necessities of life to live without him.
What you don't realize darling is that you are wonderfully amazing in your own unique way.
Truth is you don't need him to be happy, because your laughter used to fill a room before you even knew of his existence.
Truth is you were a good person before he came along, you helped people in need as often as you could.
Truth is you can survive without him and live a successful life however you'd like.
Truth is darling, you'd be okay by yourself.
You'd learn to love yourself,
Learn to be happy when he's not around,
Learn to get out there and meet people, experience things,
Learn to have goals and dreams aside from his,
You would learn.
If you don't build your own dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.
Before you love someone and give your all to them, fall in love with yourself.
Be yourself, because no matter how much you love them and they love you, they will change you.
Make sure you're grounded, stable.
People won't always be there for you, but you will always be there for yourself.
And darling don't ever let a boy push you down so low to where you don't love yourself and to where you feel like a mistake.
Because you aren't a mistake
You're absolutely wonderful.
Love yourself, because yourself deserves that love.
Love yourself before anyone else.
