You have to learn to love yourself before you can truly love others. I have been trying to get this woman I know and whom I am in love with to understand that. She is struggling with the fact that I tell her constantly that she is a great and wonderful woman and that she is beautiful inside and out.She has a major problem with that. She has yet to look deep into a mirror to see what I see. So she fights and fights. The only thing I can pass on to all who struggle with inner feelings about themselves is to look into that mirror they fear so much and see the real person inside. It doesn't matter who you are. You are great and wonderful. Give yourself a chance to live life. Love yourself because you truly have to in order to love others.
