AN OPEN LETTER TO THE GUY I ALMOST FELL IN LOVE WITH

Dear Almost Love,

I was so young when I met you. Like the young where I didn’t know who I was and wasn’t sure about where I belonged… young. The young where being in love was such a magical fantasy, but I knew I wanted to experience the magic, at least for a little while. I thought I’d experienced it with you.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVING YOURSELF

importance of loving yourself

In order to love someone else, you must first learn to love yourself.

I’m sure in someway, shape, or form we’ve all heard this statement time and time again. I mean, growing up, that’s all I ever heard. Childishly, I always figured it didn’t really mean anything because I knew I loved my mom; my dad; my family, but I wasn’t always so sure what it meant to love myself. As I entered into my teen years, life’s experiences got in the way and the negativity of my peers took center stage.

Kids were cruel, and at a young age (being oh so impressionable) I began to second guess who I was and the simple importance of me.
