Self Love Requires Honesty | #SLS

I've come to realize, the hard way, that I've had and still have a lot of healing to do! Self Love is not an overnight thing *insert Percy Sledge song*. It takes time to reach a comfortable level of contentment with self. It's a journey; one of upward toil but one of positive growth. In our journey of Self Love, it is integral that we seek to know ourselves, accept who we are and live freely in our truth.  In seeking to know and embrace our truest selves, a process of self reflection and introspection helps. The trauma; experiences that we go through have fashioned us into the persons that we are today. Our personalities, our self esteem; the way we interact with others, our imposed standards, our expectations are all influenced by the way we see ourselves; by the way we think and feel about ourselves.

Sooo... I've been overworked. Have you ever been the driving force of a relationship?

Any Love Doctor would say that that's a combination of sweet and messed up - border-line psychotic! So don't do that. ✋🏾 But yeah... I know you. I feel you. We're probably Soul-Ties. We should meet up shouldn't we? Anyway... This year I've made a personal pledge (well it's not so personal now) to be the chase...

So... It's been a while. I've had some time to think and It seems like I've known all along that there are somethings that I've already decided for myself. We sometimes play ourselves into believing that we can accept anything that the wind blows our way and that we don't mind compromising with our true selves. It's actually quite refreshing to reach a point of emotional self-awareness. I'm way over the school girl crush mentality; the doodling Xs and Os and counting kids routine. I'm over worrying about people who are not treating me right. I'm over places that I don't feel comfortable in. I'm over all things that are not feeding my spirit. Positivity and enlightenment are watchwords that help purge my soul. Refreshing Reminders:   Learn - Take time to truly know yourself. Learn to love yourself; your pet-peeves and your passions. Know that your time is important; make everything you do worthwhile.  You don't always need t...
