Falling in love Quote by Jordan M. Alexander
““The other part is about my learning 'self-love' journey. It requires me to face 'choices' and to be totally comfortable with them. To not beat myself up about things like falling in love with the 'wrong guys', to not feel like my Pollyanna tendencies create a blind spot with the male sex and maybe even to drop the self-fulfilling prophecy that 'I'm just not relationship material'.””
