The only way you can ever hope to change is if you give up on the change and just embrace yourself. You are good enough. If you are telling yourself, “Self-love has to wait until I’m done with self-renovation,” you may spend years in a loop working on yourself. Working on yourself is convenient. It keeps you so busy fixing problems that you never have to actually resolve the issue. Loving yourself, even with all the reasons you believe you are unlovable, creates real space for empowered change.
