#2 LEARN TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST!

"How can I comfort you when I can barely comfort myself?"
Hasn't your heart grappled with this very question at least once in your lifetime specially when you helped someone out of your zone and you didn't choose to refuse because saying a simple "NO" will counter question your personality?

You beat yourself up, questioned your self-worth, decided you weren’t worthy of love, and isolated your heart. I don’t blame you, though—your world was turned upside down in a moment’s time. In a world of bright colors, the only thing that shone through was black. Little did you know that eventually that black would fade and you’d soon find yourself a blank canvas, enabling you to start over.

I’m sorry that at your worst, you didn’t even love yourself. When you look back at those moments, I hope you realize how much you’ve grown. You learned how to put yourself first, that your feelings were valid, and that if you didn’t learn how to correctly love yourself for all of who you are, no one else was going to be able to do it.

I need you to know it gets better.

The ache in your soul will fade. The emptiness will disappear.

I need you to know that you will be happy again. It may seem impossible right now, but the good is coming. The hour glass has to tip eventually, and luckily for you, it will be in your favor.

I want you to know you are worthy of the love you continue to try and give everyone else. You are an intelligent, strong-minded, kind, beautiful, and down to earth woman/man.

All of the tears you cried weren’t wasted. The soul searching that entailed strengthened your heart. You will find the will to stand on two feet again, and not just to run.

I want you to know the future is bright.

It seems like a long climb, but the view is worth it.

You’re not a disappointment. You’re not a burden.

You are wanted.

You will find love again!

There is someone out there who is going to easily help you forget the person who broke your heart. So let out all the tears and frustrations from this relationship, because the next one is going to be amazing if you let it be.

Love is worth a second chance.

Always remember that you were never truly alone even on the days when you felt like it.

Thank you for not giving up, because that is half the battle.

Try to say this to yourself 

"I am proud of you always."

Whether it be in large or small ways, these little bits of darkness that accumulate along the way begin to cloud our hearts and chip away at our self-worth, self-love, and inner light.

but the truth is, the world needs your brightness.

'You' need your brightness.

i know this because i know what it feels like when we go dim. our insides start to feel like a deserted, musty old attic room that aches for a little sunlight and fresh air. you start closing doors and boxing yourself in. you begin to feel like you’re living in a way that’s smaller than you actually are. maybe you’ve heard the little whisper in your heart or ringing softly in your ears reminding you that you are so much more than the present moment. that your life, your deepest radiance, is one of greatness and eternal love.

and if any of this holds true for you, you haven’t lost who you are, you’re just finding your way.

You will master the art of putting you and your worthy self first

TRUST ME DARLING...YOU WILL!
