CHOOSE AND LOVE YOURSELF
<p>What if the love you keep begging someone to give you is the same love you have been withholding from yourself?</p><p>Sometimes, we spend so much time waiting for someone to choose us, check on us, appreciate us, reassure us, or make us feel special that we forget to ask ourselves a simple question like,</p><p>"Am I giving myself the love I expect from others?"</p><p>We want someone who will notice when our mood changes, but we ignore our own sadness. We want someone to remind us that we are beautiful, worthy, and enough, yet we are often the first people to criticize ourselves. We want someone to stay, but sometimes we keep abandoning ourselves just to keep someone else from leaving.</p><p>Maybe love isn't always about finding someone who will complete the empty spaces in us. Maybe sometimes, it is about learning to fill some of those spaces ourselves.</p><p>Because you deserve to be loved, yes, but you also deserve to know how to love yourself when nobody is clapping for you, choosing you or reminding you of your worth.</p><p>And perhaps the most beautiful kind of love begins when you stop begging to be chosen and start choosing yourself.</p>
