I told myself the self loathing had to stop

Then...

I Was “featured” in a PowerPoint about

Loving oneself.

I usually recoil in terror when I stuff like that

but...

I actually found some truth in it. Like:

1. Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. Lucille ball

2. Don’t worry about pleasing others. David Brown

3. He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals. Benjamin Franklin

And I will

The End
