Self-Respect Over Validation
Standing up for yourself is often misunderstood.

When we find ourselves in abusive relationships where we are constantly rejected and we feel helpless, there is a tendency to want to control our exterior world.
We feel lost and confused internally. We are scared and sad. At these times, our self-worth and self-belief are at its lowest.
Because we feel powerless and we think that we are trapped, we turn to the outside world, so we may "see" where we still have value and power.
The sad reality is that we create our outside world from within, so we most likely will experience even more rejection and feelings of confusion and powerlessness.
Always turn within. Heal within first so you may create outside the life you deserve.
You are beautiful, intelligent, and worthy of all the love you desire. Please start today by loving yourself first. What will you do for yourself today?
