If You Think This Was Written For You, It Probably Was

Just because you hate yourself so often, doesn't mean you don't have a shred of self endearment. Too many people hold this misconception about mental illness, it doesn't mean that you don't love yourself, it means you're learning to live with yourself, learning to live with your affliction. Unfortunately many of us will never have the opportunity to share this bit of knowledge, but I know that you're not only completely capable of loving yourself, you're also completely capable of being loved and completely capable of loving anyone you choose. So don't let any 'someone' try to tell you that you can't love or be loved until you learn to love yourself. It's just not true.
