“Relying on someone else for your happiness and self worth is a heavy burden to place on someone else¦ We alone are responsible for loving and respecting ourselves, this is really where our happiness begins and ends...Accepting who you are and changing the things about your character that doesnt work¦makes loving yourselves priceless¦. Having someone else love you because they see the beauty of your souls¦is what will complete you...RB”
