Today you said you loved yourself. Love is such an amazing, difficult, and in all ways incredible thing. Today you do love yourself. Today you made peace with things people have done to you, things people have said about you, things you have said about yourself, things you have believed about yourself, and things you have done to yourself. You overcame obstacles that a year ago, a month ago, and even a week ago seemed impossible. Today you love yourself. Tomorrow you may not. Just as different as each day is from the last you are different, too. A lot of things in your life are still in progress. Progress is good. You've grown, learned, changed, and progressed tremedously throughout life. Remember, even when you have days you don't love yourself, accept that. Accept that as much as you change, so will your love. Remember it is one day, and you will probably have a lot of these "one days", but remember there are always, always opportunities to love yourself; take advantage of them. Loving yourself isn't one-dimentional, it's your body, your mind, your soul, your spirit, your decisions, your thoughts, your actions, your character, and so much more. It's possible to love parts of yourself. It's possible to love all of yourself. Love as much of you as you can as often as you can, and don't be ashamed or discouraged when it's not easy, or you truly don't. When you don't know a part of yourself, love that you don't know, it is another opportunity to search and hopefully find that part of you. Even the parts you think you've found may change. Love the old, love the new, and love the change. If you don't or can't, challenge yourself to find out why. Never stop wondering, growing, questioning, changing, or loving.
Love now, and always,
Yourself
