Self-respect is essential for any healthy relationship.
My surprise isn’t due to disapproval.
I love that people have this feeling; it means they’re aware that real love starts within.
But here’s the thing: dating doesn’t mean youaren’tfocused on yourself.
But this is not what dating or relationships are about.
Relationships provide us a mirror to see what kinds of behaviors and habits we bring to the table.
Dating serves us in the same way.
I have said it before and I will keep saying it.
And for you to express more of yourself, it’s absolutely necessary for you to practice deep self-acceptance.
But growth is an ongoing process, and one that should continue regardless of your relationship status.
We nurture one another’s dreams, aspirations and feelings.
Really look at the intention behind the choices you are making.
Love doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
There is so much middle ground.
You are safe, all the time.
