"Before you aim to find someone who accepts you just as you are, stop wanting to be someone else. Accept yourself as you are.
Before you aim to find someone who wants to do life with you, figure out what you want to do with your life. Do life with yourself first. A relationship shouldn’t be your escape from a life you hate. It’s a continuation of a life you love.
Before you aim to find someone you can trust, learn to trust yourself. Learn to trust your body. You can’t guarantee that someone won’t hurt you, but you can trust that you will do right by yourself.
Before you aim to find someone who loves you the way you need to be loved, give yourself the love you need. Get yourself the things you need. Give yourself the compassion, kindness and forgiveness you need.
Before you aim to find someone who keeps their promisess- someone whose words match their actions, stop letting yourself down. Keep your promises to yourself. Be for yourself the support you are for the ones you love."
