I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

It sounds cliché, but we all know what it’s like out there. Everyone has heard the saying, “you have to love yourself first in order to love someone else.” Whoever said that was more than right. People need to learn they are who they are for a reason, and they are the best “them” around. You’re probably sitting there wondering who the heck I am to say all we have to do is accept ourselves, like it’s easy to accomplish. Breaking news: loving yourself is no simple task.
