I remember being on Tumblr in high school and seeing quotes like, "You can't love someone else until you love someone else." I always thought that was kind of...well, dumb. But as I've gotten older, I've realized it's the best thing you can do for yourself and future relationships.

Loving someone is the most amazing feeling to have with someone, but it can also be a little draining. Love isn't perfect, and it's important to understand that.

Giving your all to a guy is NEVER the right thing to do. It will leave you drained and confused. If you see yourself hiding your feelings because you want to make that person happy, that's a huge red flag.

Ladies, please stop wasting your time on guys there is no endpoint with. Sometimes, we think we should be in relationships like this because its the best thing we can get. But I can promise you that this is not the case.

You will find an amazing person who will see your flaws and accept them. You will find that person you prayed for. But before all of that, you need to learn to love yourself and your OWN company. How do you expect someone to love you for all that you are if you don't even love yourself?

Loving yourself also makes you realize what you need and want. I have wasted my time on guys who treated me less, and I know now that wasn't what I deserved.

I've said it and will say it again, but learning to love myself was the best decision ever. I learned how to enjoy my own company and realized what I want in a partner and didn't. Our partner should challenge us and be our better half, not our whole.

Valentine's Day is coming up, and instead of moping around waiting for a guy who doesn't treat you right, go out and treat yourself. Valentine's Day can be fun, even without a significant other.
