♥ HEARTWHISPERS... ♥

Sometimes when we go out looking for love, 

we’re really trying to avoid giving ourselves what we need. 

There’s pain in our past we don’t want to acknowledge; 

or there’s an emptiness inside that we don’t want to fill on our own.

If you’re feeling a hole somewhere inside, 

take a close look at what might have caused it. 

Be strong enough to acknowledge what you need to do for you,

whether it’s having a long overdue conversation with a family member, 

working on your self-esteem, 

or finding a sense of purpose in life.

We all deserve to feel loved by the people in our lives,

 but first need to be willing and able to love ourselves. 

That’s what it takes to feel deeply connected: 

to feel deeply connected to ourselves 

and confident in what we can give.
