We hear it all the time — “love yourself.”
But what does that actually look like when you’ve been your own worst critic for years?

It starts with gentleness.
With speaking to yourself like you would to someone you love.
With forgiving yourself for not knowing better, not doing better, not being perfect.

Self-love isn’t spa days and affirmations (though those are great too).
It’s choosing to keep showing up for yourself — especially when it’s hard.
It’s noticing your worth even when no one’s clapping.
It’s holding your own hand when life shakes the ground beneath you.

Fall in love with your resilience. Your softness. Your weird little quirks.
Because the most stable relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself.
Make it a beautiful one.
