Self-love is a process that takes plenty time.
You have probably been told that you have to love yourself first before someone else can.
You cannot be caught up with the idea of finding someone to love, to care for, and to depend on while forgetting about your own well-being.
No one realizes that there is so much more to life than finding that special person or to sit around crying over someone. Instead, you should be using that time to discover yourself without the thought of having someone to fall in love with. Do not lose yourself in the midst of trying to please someone else. The feeling of emptiness or void does not need to take over. Do not feel the need to love someone else more than you love yourself. You are the only person that can fill yourself up with love. Find yourself and be that person, for yourself.
Love your life the way you truly want to. Take yourself on dates. Read, wrote, draw, sing, dance; whatever it takes. It does not have to be romanticized because you can live without that type of love. Do things for yourself and find ways to be happy for yourself.
Ultimately, you are in charge of how you feel every day. Go on with your life and live the way you want to. Keep trying every day to be a better you, for you. You are your number one priority.
You have always been worth it, so do not let that worth go over someone that did not matter in the first place.
Choose happiness. Do it for you.
