Ways to Love Yourself Again

After moving from America to France I have come to many realizations concerning my personal self and myself in relationships. I have found what I consider to be the most important things to do and feel in order to make me a better person for myself and for others (i.e., when dealing with relationships from friendships to my fiancé).

I've been blessed with many people in my life (most of all my mother) who have given me wisdom either through directly telling me their thoughts or just by witnessing them going through tough times. Now that I feel that I've found some "keys to life", I love sharing those with people I meet and people I care about.

It is one such friend that led me to this site. She and I just recently became friends (less than 6 months) and she was going through very abusive situations at school (yeah, more than one!). I was so blessed to be able to be there for her and to help her get through that difficult time. She is so kind and has such a beautiful soul that going through those times together has helped us both. Since this last semester ended and she has removed herself from the toxic situation, she has been making it a point to not only find herself, but more importantly, to love herself.

She sent me this site and asked me my thoughts. I was so filled with joy because it's honestly everything that I have been preaching for the past two years wrapped up in a well-written summary. It makes me so happy because these steps are just things that I have realized on my own, but to see that they are legitimate and that they work for other people makes me feel good about my decisions and thoughts.

So, without further adieu, I'd like to share them with all of you:
