We all want to feel loved.
But the reason you’re needing love right now is not what you think.
Why you don’t feel loved.
Don’t roll your eyes.
You figure, “If they love me,thenI’ll feel loved.”

The problem with needing love.
First of all, it’s important to know thatunconditional lovemeans giving love freely, without expectations.
The point is that how we feel about ourselves should not be based on the treatment of our partners.

And the wonderful bonus?
People are much more drawn to people who are happy, confident, and sitting in their worth.
When it comes to feeling more loved, the change starts within you.
