by self-love, i do not mean actions that is the consumerist kind of self-love i mean— - is it ok to be having the thoughts you are having rn? - do you care about the person who is having them? - why? why do you care about them really? https://t.co/P77dHiWoW9
self-love is nothing more than gaining the distance from yourself to be shocked you’re not giving them complete love . . and accepting you are part of this . . . and this is ok . . . and you are in this complete spiral . . . and this is ok https://t.co/sZQp9dxQlk
self-love is nothing more than ceasing all your second-order thoughts about why you do or do not deserve love https://t.co/TbxtbK4CBl
it is not saying you DESERVE love it precedes that it’s saying you never needed to in the first place to think you needed to was a psy-op https://t.co/qf36tyjge8
