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
