You can’t expect other people to love you if you don’t love yourself first. So many people are searching so hard for that “one person” who is going to complete them when they aren’t even complete themselves.

In order to love yourself, you have got to spend time with yourself. You have to become your own best friend. Most people have never truly spent enough time with themselves to even really get to know themselves.

If you think finding another broken person like you and together you will become some kind of a whole person together, that is wishful thinking.

Instead, spend time alone, pull yourself together and become a whole person. Work towards being the person you always dreamed of becoming first; become a complete, independent and beautiful person who loves themselves.

Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder. Don’t waste your time chasing butterflies. Mend your garden, and the butterflies will come. You can only chase a butterfly for so long.

You can’t expect to find the guy or girl of your dreams if you aren’t first willing to put effort into becoming the girl or guy of theirs.
