Sophia, thanks for sharing :)

“My brain doesn’t know the difference between someone else telling me these things, and me telling them to myself.” This really hit me profoundly. It’s like I’ve been waiting all my life for someone to come and love me and when I read those words something inside me clicked, all the ways that I’ve imagined someone else loving me, why don’t I just start treating myself that way?

I’m starting to realise that so much of my life has been for other people rather than myself. Even my previous attempts at learning to “love myself” have been based around getting closer to my dream of someone else coming and loving me. Well, I’m working on putting an end to that and to really start having a healthy, intimate relationship with myself.

Once again, thanks for sharing and I wish you all the best in your self-love story!
