Love Yourself

You are in charge of your thoughts, feelings, and actions.  You can choose to let something affect you and you can choose your own happiness.  It is my personal opinion that we cannot love others fully without loving ourselves first.  It is through accepting our own flaws and imperfections, but still finding the beauty in us that we truly learn to embrace ourselves and others.  We need to show ourselves some respect and without that we won't expect as much from others.  The value we place on our own feelings and well-being is represented in how we let others treat us.  Like they say in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower": We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve.
