What are you thinking right now? What are you doing? If you are doing something stop, think and read this.
Do you love yourself?
Do you feel strong enough to walk this path alone?
If you aren't strong enough, search.
Search for that one that you can truly rely on. If you believe that there is no one, you at least have yourself.
I used to think, not talking to people not "worth" my time was the best thing to do. I thought separating myself from others was the best thing to do. I even thought, what is the point of this, if in the end I am lonely, by myself, scared of my environment. I was too scared of making a connection with someone and them destroying it. I imagined thee pain and closed myself off.

Instead I built a wall around myself, which was meant to protect me, but instead hurt me in more ways than it should. I saw people with friends, walking, laughing, sometimes crying. I thought that was best. No it wasn't. I was mean to everyone who I did not know.  I cried by myself thinking no one can see my tears.

After months of questioning myself, I realized, I was missing out. Missing out on more time with my family, missing out time with others. Most importantly, I was missing out on myself. I realized things about myself that other loved, and I loved even more.

From then on I began to really love myself. Because I became comfortable with myself I made more friends. I stopped pushing people away, I stopped blaming others for my mistakes.

I learned to love myself. Love yourself first, and then others. If others don't love you, love yourself.

Self Love is not limited. Nor is the love you give others.

So please, remember this, and go on living the life YOU want to live.
