Whenever I used to hear this I honestly thought it was bs. I thought I could get by with not loving myself, filling the void with someone else. But it’s been just recently that I’ve realized simply filling the void eventually catches up with you. And I think a lot of it goes back to the idea that you can’t always count on someone else to be there for you, instead you need to have a solid foundation for yourself, a foundation based on pure self love. It’s crucial. Because if/when the person who you thought would always be there for you betrays you, or leaves, you’re left with nothing. It’s crumbling, it’s world shattering, it’s lonely.(speaking from experience). So I’ve made a commitment to myself to not involve myself with anyone until I’m ready, to not simply find people to fill my voids, but instead work on me- loving myself, being ok with being alone, being self sufficient and independent, being happy- for if the time ever comes again when someone breaks my heart or betrays my trust, (and it will because that’s life), yes I will hurt, but I will not be broken. I will rise and I will be strong. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💋💋💋💗💗💗💗 But as always- progress, not perfection.
