Quotes:
“Without this profound sense of self-love, I had challenges to deeply connect with people I’d love to connect.”
“No time like the present to figure this out.”
“It’s not quite selfishness, but it created this ‘What about me?’ narrative.”
Anytime anything happened, It was always through the filter of ‘What about me?’ and ‘I’m not worthy.’ and ‘I’m not enough.’”
“Even though I have my partner telling me he cares, I couldn’t believe it because I couldn’t believe in myself.”
“I didn’t feel like I was worth fighting for.”
“Essentially I was a castle with a moat and everybody else has to stand outside.”
“I had to start with me, understanding that I needed to feel safe.”
“If you are not feeling safe in your own body, you’ll not be able to communicate with other people.”
“Self-love has to come first. Then you can build from there.”
