Let's talk about the phrase "No one's gonna love you until you love yourself". Specifically, I wanna talk about why it's total bullshit. Basically, it's saying that until we're happy with ourselves, we're not going to find people to care about us. So, since I have body issues, I can't expect to have people in my life that love me? Until I get to a place where I can genuinely say I love myself, I'm never going to find people to love me? No. Fuck no.
You want to know something? The guy I've been with for the last ten months has loved me more than I ever thought I deserved. He's loved me at times when I absolutely despised myself. During those times, he never stopped telling me that he loved me and that I was cared for. He's helped me to find some things about myself that I like, and maybe even love.
Don't ever let someone tell you that you don't deserve someone's love just because you have issues with yourself. Sometimes, it's those people who are going to help you find some things to like about yourself in those times when you're disgusted just by being you. Let people in, let them help you learn to love yourself. Don't cut yourself off just because you don't think you deserve love. Because you do. You so fucking do.
