Self-love is not selfishness but a necessary foundation for a happy life 💕. Only when we accept ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses, can we truly open up to another person. After all, how can we share what we ourselves don't have?

Loving yourself is taking care of your inner world, respecting your needs and boundaries 🌿. It's when you can say no when something goes against your values, or allow yourself to rest when your body and soul need it. What does self-care mean to you?

When we learn to love ourselves, we stop looking to others for salvation or validation. We stop filling our inner emptiness with other people's attention or approval, because we already have the resource for happiness within us 🌟. This makes us more confident, open and ready for real intimacy.

Relationships are built on balance: if you know how to support yourself, you can genuinely support your partner 🤝. It's not about expectations or dependency, it's about the journey of two self-sufficient people together. What steps are you taking to love yourself?

Thought of the day:
“Become for yourself the person you would like to meet in your life. True love starts with you.” 💡
