Choose people who choose you.

Keep choosing yourself above all else.

The more you love and respect yourself the more life as you know it will change

Friendship, dating, careers, even family - choose people who choose you. If you are always making the effort, if the conversations are usually one-sided, if they are non-committal (aka their priorities are usually elsewhere - something or someone else is more important than making time for you), if when you need them they consistently aren’t able to support you or if they only support you during your challenges and don’t ask about or celebrate your wins, if they criticize, judge or discredit your feelings, if ultimatums are involved - choose yourself above all else.

The more you love and respect yourself, the more life as you know it will change. It’s a hard thing to experience and most times growth will come at a cost of shedding people, places, jobs, routines, beliefs, & habits.

Don’t hold on to things that no longer serve you out of fear of change, judgment, loneliness, or comfort. Keep choosing yourself above all else. Life has a way of realigning you with what is needed to support you.
