The most painful thing is losing our self in the process…
“The most painful thing is losing our self in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that we are special too. Yes, help others; but help our self too. If there was ever a moment to follow our passion and do something that matters to us, that moment is now. We have to stop putting our own needs on the back burner. We have to learn to love our self first, before we can really love anyone else !!”
