Love yourself first. Once you love yourself then you have all the love you need. Love yourself and you will never not be loved. Imagine meeting this perfect person who loves you unconditionally and understands you for you – now realize that person is you. If you are looking for things to validate you from the outside it will never be enough. If you love yourself and are validated from the inside then it will always be with you and enough. Who better to love you than you? You are always with you and get your own jokes better than anyone!!
