To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

You can explore the universe looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find that person anywhere.

I have to figure out why I worked at a job I hated for years. I have to find out why I can’t see what everyone else sees in me. I don’t feel beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I never saw beautiful. For this to happen to someone like me, it’s devastating, Jonas. I don’t want you to think it’s vanity, it isn’t. I can’t see me and I need to be able to do that. I need to find out what I’m like and what I want. I have to be comfortable in my own skin before I can be in a relationship the way you want.

Do not love your neighbour as yourself. If you are on good terms with yourself it is an impertinence; if on bad, an injury.

You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy.
