You made him king, but there was no kingdom to rule. You put suns in his sky, but the night was his home. - Najwa Zebian

One of the beautiful things about getting to know yourself is realizing all the places where you’ve been trying really hard to feel welcomed and the people who don’t truly see or accept you as you are.

They won’t try to shame or pressure you into doing what you’re not comfortable doing or what doesn’t resemble you. They won’t think of how your actions reflect on them. They meet you where you are, exactly the way you need to be met.

Self-love is loving yourself exactly as you’d love the person you love the most. And that love actually feels like love and looks like meeting your own needs.
