I will always love myself more than you, at least for a little bit City Magazine

"No person, place or thing has any power over you, because you create your reality and everything in it." - Louise Hay

Several times I put people who crossed my path before me. I did not take into account the warnings of the universe, nor the real facts. With this, I hurt myself and lost myself in one or another relationship. I felt empty and incomplete.

I basically forgot about myself, hoping to get the same amount of love from the person that I was giving them. Of course I was disappointed.

There comes a time in life when you realize that you can never love another person more than you love yourself.

I believed in soul mates. I know that no one deserves my love more than myself. I realized that if you love yourself first, everything else will fall into place sooner or later.

You too. I will love you, but I will always prefer myself, at least for a little bit. At the end of the day, I am the only person who will always be available to me. And I'm the only person who was there when I needed her. There was no one else around when I broke my soul into a million pieces. No one heard me when I cried and just wanted a hug. No one held my hand when I felt weak. Everyone was just leaving.

8 reasons why your marriage isn't living up to expectations - and why it's not your partner's fault

I am the only person who is there when I need her.

I found my way to myself. I put together my imperfectly perfect mosaic from the crushed and broken pieces of my heart and soul. I hug myself there. I wipe my tears. I'm holding your hand. I love myself exactly as I have become. I'm not naive anymore. I calmly observe the people around me, I see into their souls. I get to know their masks and hiding in the name of love.

I am writing my chapter in the book of life. There are stories in it that are still being written and I don't know what will happen in the next chapter. I will love myself even more because I realized that when you truly love yourself, your ability to give and receive love from others expands.

I love my dreams, hopes, flaws, imperfections and everything that is part of who I am. No one is like me...and no one is like you.

I will always love myself more than you, at least a little bit, and I want you to love yourself more than me, at least a little bit.
