they say you need to love yourself before you love anyone else
but i think the correct way of putting it is
love yourself and the relationship with the person whom you love will last
we are born to love
we grow into disliking ourselves
loving comes naturally
expressing it becomes a task because of our dislike towards ourselves
but once you learn how to love yourself
you understand how to express your love and all of it's wholeness
and you go back to your natural state
of love
