To be honest I’ve been extremely busy and the second I took some free time I made an effort to do something I enjoy which is the beach so I went fishing.
But after having a friend reach out to me recently wanting to post something on my blog and just never got around to it, figured it was time to put something together.
However, as always there’s always something on my mind, something on my heart and something I need to say (imagine that).
I’ve seen a lot of friends struggling lately, maybe it’s the time of year, we are all going through something inside, transitioning, but something that needs to be reminded is to LOVE YOURSELF.
You cannot love someone or something if you do not love yourself.
I will repeat that...
YOU CANNOT LOVE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IF YOU DO NOT LOVE YOURSELF!!!!
Self love is hard.
It’s raw.
It’s honest.
It’s lonely.
It’s vulnerable.
It’s truly finding who you are and what truly makes you happy.
We have somehow gotten so mixed up in social media and what everyone else thinks of us.
How many likes we have or how many people viewed our latest snap story.
We are so wrapped up in seeking validation from others that we are not focusing on ourselves and that is the furthest thing away from self love.
Because at the end of the day, when you’re left with no one and you’re all alone, who is going to be there to make you happy? Yourself, that’s who!
Love yourself.
Do what you love.
Make yourself happy.
& Follow your heart.
So I will leave you with something that really speaks volumes to me...
“You will always be “too much” of something for someone. Too big. Too loud. To soft. To wild. To happy. Etc. If you continue to round yourself out for others you’ll only lose that edge that makes you so special. Apologize for your mistakes. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone. But never apologize for being too you.”
Until next time...
