"Loving yourself" often stems from the heartbreak of loving someone else.

It's not just a process of self-healing, but also the beginning of our true transformation.

You once thought love was about tolerance—that as long as you gave enough, you would be cherished.

Later, you realized that someone who truly loves you wouldn't want you to suffer for them.

Loving yourself isn't selfishness.

It's about no longer allowing anyone to remain in your life in a way that hurts you.

I used to love you very much.

But now, the person I love most is myself.

Thank you for reading!
