Self-Love Is Helping Me Heal…
A few weeks ago, one of my cousins called me and asked,
“Hey, why are you single?”

I responded by telling him that throughout my life, my relationships failed because I had no clue who I was in any of them. Plus, I mentioned that I had unresolved “daddy issues” that manifested in my relationships that I was unaware of.
Of course, he responded by laughing.
