Having spent the majority of my life battling with myself and my painful emotions, I have recently discovered why loving myself is crucial to my personal experiences. I took on the negativity that I had experienced throughout my life and turned it inward. Somewhere I believed that turning it inward equaled responsibility to those that I loved, but the truth is that love does not create pain. As a result, the more I harbored this pain the more miserable I became. I showed a smiling face to the world, and looked like I had it all together.
