@bayavoce: This idea that you need to arrive fully healed before someone can love you? Complete garbage. Most of us learn to love ourselves inside relationships, not hiding in our rooms doing affirmations. Here's what actually happens in healthy love: Someone stays when you expect them to leave. Someone sees gold in you when all you see is garbage. Someone reflects your worth back to you on days when you can't find it in the mirror. Love doesn't require you to be perfect. It requires you to be real. To show up when you're struggling, not just when you're shining. To let yourself be seen while you're still figuring your shit out. The work isn't becoming loveable before you let someone in. It's learning to receive love while you're still learning to give it to yourself. #relationships #selflove #healing
