Self-love

Firstly, and most importantly, don't keep people around you who are unkind. But if they need to be in your life for whatever reason, don't trust anything they say or do. People who are hurtful have issues that have absolutely nothing to do with you. That is why you shouldn't trust their words or actions, and in fact, why you should completely ignore them.

The biggest act of self-love that you can give yourself is to not let anyone dimish your self-worth. Anyone who does this hasn't learned how to love themselves either. So if you can't love yourself, and they can't love theirself, that leaves you in a "no love" zone. Nothing good can come from that.

If you want love, you need to love yourself. If you want respect, you need to respect yourself. If you want peace, you will need to have found peace in yourself. It is always up to you and will forever remain that way. <3
