To be happy

I always come on here talking about what’s not right and I want to talk about something good. I’m learning to love myself. I didn’t even know I didn’t until I was told to do so. I even had to look up the definition of loving myself to figure how to do it. It’s a process and I know I can do it. I will love myself so I can make myself happy and stop looking for other people to make me happy. Happy New Year.

I've always said no one can love you until you love yourself. It's not easy. I know. But I do love me. Do I have faults? Well, duh, yes, we all do. Can I improve? Of course! But I know I am a good person with a good heart. I have SO much love in my heart. I'm a messed up person, but I know I am, and that's okay. I hope you continue this marvelous journey!

That’s amazing! I really hope I can learn to love myself one day too. It’s always been a goal of mine! Maybe you could PM me and share your story or some advice? It would be much appreciated. Happy new year to you too! May 2021 bring us all peace and joy

That’s a big deal! Loving oneself is the thing, the whole thing! I’m trying to love myself too! It is a process as you say, maybe a lifetime project but I believe that if it can be accomplished it will make the difference.

I never understood the phrase “love yourself” until I started therapy. Now I get it, and for the first time, I’m trying my hardest to do just that. You can do it!! It just takes practice 😊
