“How we love others is affected by how we love ourselves, and for the first time in a long time, I was whole.”
― Richelle Mead, Succubus Revealed

“The more we love ourselves, the less we project our pain onto the world. When we stop judging ourselves, we naturally judge others less. When we stop attacking ourselves, we don’t attack others. When we stop rejecting ourselves, we stop accusing others of hurting us. When we start loving ourselves more, we become happier, less defended, and more open. As we love ourselves, we naturally love others more. “Self-love is the greatest gift because what you give yourself is experienced by others,” says Louise.”

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
