Love this! Let’s romanticize our lives and be the best lovers to ourselves.

I’m coming to it slowly and yet one day at a time

It takes so much practice! Thank you for reading so many of my posts! We are in the same season of life. It's kinda awesome -- minus the physical aging:)

Perfect! It’s taken me 51 years to realise that I matter as much as the ones I hold dear. But our culture leads us to view this as selfish or narcissistic. Lets treat ourselves with love x

Amen, sister!

the concept, never mind the word, self-love makes people cringe. why????

A Lifetime’s Ambition's avatar

I know. I think those of us who constantly strive to make others happy and feel safe and loved are the ones who neglect ourselves most. Time for that to change x

You can't! We're born with so much love for ourselves we almost burst and then little by little we question it. Time to reconnect with ourselves:) Thanks for reading!
