I am worthy of the love I give to others. Heck -I think that I'm worthy of even more from myself. It's not that I shouldn't give my time, energy and care to those valuable to me, it's that I need to learn when to pause, take a step back and evaluate how much of myself I should be freely giving to those around me — because I need me. I need my energy. I need my attention. I need my care, my love my heart. I need to be there for myself. It's not that loving others takes away the love that I hold for myself —it's that sometimes I forget to put myself first. Sometimes I forget to think about myself. Sometimes I forget what it means to love myself because I am so busy trying hard to please everyone around me. I am worthy of the love I give to others. And I need to remind myself of this sometimes because I seem to forget. I seem to forget.
