Are you as kind to yourself as you are to your friends and family?

 

We cannot look to others to fill our need for love and happiness; we must first love ourselves to fully love another. 

 

If our universe is the only one, then you are the only person in the entirety of existence even remotely like you. You are a miracle- the chances that you were born at all are extraordinarily low, yet here you are. Appreciate your uniqueness in all of the universe, and embrace who you are and who you want to be.  The path to self compassion is not always easy, but you have always overcome every obstacle, and you always will.  ~Think. Love. Live.
