She Just Wants to Forget (What She Felt) (Volume 2)

by R.H. Sin

I learned a long time ago that real love begins from within. I think my love-for-self brought me the type of relationship that resembled everything I knew I wanted and deserved. Time alone after an unhealthy relationship helped me rediscover my own self-worth. Doing more of what I loved or spending more time on myself helped me focus in on my strengths, the things I admire about myself and so much more. It also gave me a moment to self-reflect on what I should do to better myself. I think self-love is wrapped up in how we choose to evolve. I think self-love can be cultivated by simply chasing this portion of peace. A happier me meant a happier life and living good attached to the right mate. When you don’t love yourself, you’re more likely to love a person who chooses to hurt you. When you don’t love yourself, it’s hard to accept real love from the right person. I think we must do the work, we must focus on ourselves before we can ever understand or be prepared to focus on someone else. The love feels so pure when you take time to understand it outside of a relationship.
