I Starting Over After Divorce

Some days you wake up and want love so desperately. You feel more alone than other days. Today is one of those days.

"Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter." Oprah

How do learn to love yourself? I can make a list of all I do for others but cannot make a list of what I do for myself.

Being strong through the divorce I could do. Maintaining this throughout life has become more daunting. How do you learn to lean? How do you let go of the sheer force that keeps you standing, going to work, not collasping. Brute force.

Yes, I want love desperately. I want to love myself.

First celebrate everything about yourself that has kept you standing. Then accept your humanity. Accept that nobody can do it without occasionally leaning. And that nobody should be expected to. Find a safe space and let down those walls that have kept you strong. Underneath you are just as strong. Just as beautiful. Just as complete. And just as worthy of love.

Loving ourselves is so hard, yet there is no one more deserving of our love. ❤️
