Realizing I was going from relationship to relationship, couldn’t spend a second by myself, always out with other people, always on the phone, I made a change. Instead of loving myself, I sought external validation to fill the void. That emptiness never stayed away long, and as grueling a task learning to love you is, I was determined to be a self-actualized person. Accepting the good, the bad, because being human is to be flawed. I can truly say, proudly today, I love myself. I deserve better. I enjoy my own company. I’m fulfilled. How about you? You can’t fill someone else’s cup, when yours is empty. Via: Band Aid For Heart
