Self-love & Self-worth

To my guys & girls,

You have to learn to love yourself. it's not an easy thing to do but  it is one of the most important things. You can not love anyone like you should (& like they deserve) until you know how to love yourself. You are so important and you deserve love. Self love can be many forms- knowing you deserve it, working out, writing, taking a bath, watching your favorite movie, ect. Find something that works for you. Something that goes with self-love is self-worth. Know that you are worthy. Know that you are not alone in feeling like you are. These can be hard pills to swallow especially when you feel like you are the only one going through it. You. Aren't. I want you to know you are worthy and you deserve to be loved. These have been hard things to face for me, I often feel so unworthy and so unloved. Which are mountains that I am over coming, slowly but surely. Some days are tougher than others and I feel as if it's always a battle.
     Lately, while moving to a new city where I don't really know very many people and I am alone a lot of the time, almost like isolation; make it hard to climb the mountains that I face. Nonetheless I am taking it day by day and I will be just fine. I will overcome the lonely, it will get better. This will be home. These are the things I have found to help. Telling myself these things make everyday easier.
     Never forget that you can overcome your mountains and defeat your battles. You are not alone, you are loved, you are worth it. This is what I tell myself everyday. You should do the same. Try your hardest to love yourself and make it even when you don't think you can. Keep your head above the water.
     Also, (probably more unwanted advise) - find your people. The people who help you make it through. The people who are there to listen, laugh, love and support you. Find those people. Life is much sweeter with them. Your dark days are much brighter with them by your side. And you bright days are like the sun. Let them be the reason you overcome the mountains, trials, bad days and lonely feelings.
       You can do it. I believe in you. You aren't alone, nor am I. Bad days come, good days make it worth it. You are loved, as am I. Love yourself too. Know you are worthy of love, relationships, and acceptance. I am too.
     We will make it through together. You and I . I am here. You are there. We can do it.


Until next time.
   keep your head above the water and get over your most recent mountain.
Love you.
