Hello everyone, I really appreciate you taking the time to read this, so lets get right to it. Many people feel as though they need a relationship to complete them, as if they were made with missing parts. I’ve learned throughout the years that this is definitely not the case, and often times can lead to bad relationships long term. What can really help make a relationship is individuals learning to love themselves first. Often times we look past our own needs and wants because we feel as though some outside source will complete us. We walk around empty and spend hours on social media wishing that we could be just as perfect as the picture we see. So what do we do? We decide it’s best to go out and find someone to love us, to care for us, and fill the void in each area of our lives instead of dealing with it ourselves first. I’ve found that self reflection and really taking the time to love ourselves will translate into any relationship we decide to get into. Learn what you love, and what you dont, learn to accept all that theres nothing imperfect about you based off of social media standards and realize that your beautiful and powerful. A person capable of anything that you set your mind and energy too. Once all that is there, then allow someone to come into that space you’ve created and let them continue to uplift you, not complete you. You’ll find that communication is good, your love for each other is strong, and no one is seeking validation from the other. Everything will be as it should. So I truly encourage you to take some time each day to look within and self reflect and love yourself before loving another.
