Letters to J

Someone once told me, "The first rule in LOVE is to love yourself first before loving someone else. Giving yourself the right amount of attention, affection and worth allows you to value your importance thus loving yourself wholehearted. How can you give love when you don't love yourself? Loving yourself first allows LOVE to emanate from you hence allowing you to love other people."

These words made me ask myself if I really know my self-worth for me to continue loving someone else. I know I am not perfect and I have so many flaws but I guess when it comes to giving my all to the person very important to me, I believe that I never faltered nor gave less. I guess letting go is better than holding on if holding on means losing myself in the process. For the longest time, I've kept my cool,shrugged my shoulders and looked the other way. But right know, I think it's time for me to know my importance to someone else's life. I know my value and I know I deserve better.
