"You've had your trust broken so many times that you've lost count. I know you vowed to yourself to never let anyone in. But you still do. Hoping there might still be some good in this world. And there is. And its you." -Tmwritings

As cliche as it may sound, you cannot love someone else until you really love yourself. Time and time again people may break our trust and make us feel unwanted or unappreciated. We start to question ourselves and become self conscious and wonder what is wrong with us. The answer is absolutely nothing. The worst thing we can do is question our own personal value. If someone has the nerve to make you question your importance they do not deserve to be in your life now or ever. Promoting self love can be much easier than it sounds, it can be sitting down with a cup of tea and thinking about the things you are proud of or it can be going to the gym and sweating out all the negative energy. Dedicating time daily to appreciate ourselves and truly improve the way we feel about ourselves is crucial to a happy life. It isn't fair to let someone who barely knows you make you feel insecure about who you are. The best support system we have is ourselves and the friends and family that we can trust. Promoting mindful awareness and self love is so important especially in times of hardship. People are temporary and relying on others for self happiness is never going to last long. Working hard for what we want and maintaining a healthy relationship with ourself is what will truly inspire self happiness. So forget the person who didn't value you and value yourself. No one can define you and as long as you let them will you will never have control over your own happiness. I am thankful for those who have hurt me because the have showed me how strong I am and how I don't need them to be happy, I need myself.
