I like to remind myself that you can't really find love without loving yourself. It's a hard pill to swallow because it's hard to love the flaws and faults that make up you. You might not like that you're too shy, or that you talk too much, that your slightly overweight, or that you're not the most entertaining person in the world. I mean, to like oneself with qualities like that would be to accept the mediocre in all of us and leave no drive for improvement. To truly love yourself you must accept yourself as you are, to care about yourself enough to strive for improvement, and to know yourself well enough to value the parts of yourself you would rather die than loose. If you do not feel this way about yourself than there is a very likely probability you will be taken advantage of. The delicate part of you that is most intricate and beautiful can be shattered if its worth is not recognized by you and you alone, for you are truly the only the one that has the access to protect it.
