How Did I Love Myself?

I am learning that to love myself is to accept myself. I have tried to compensate the lack of love I had for myself with the love I obtained from a previous relationship, but people come and inevitably leave. 

I am my own lifelong partner. We must acknowledge that at no point will we ever achieve perfection, so all we can do is to acknowledge that we will always be flawed, and we will have to love ourselves regardless. 

Beautiful Isabelle is learning to love herself.

Accept the good, the bad and the ugly. Change what we can and get along with what we cannot. However, acceptance is a process. We must constantly choose to love and accept ourselves. 

Fortunately, unlike the uncertainty of the world, it is a choice that will never be taken from us. No matter what happens, loving ourselves will always be an option. 

So, do I love myself? I am still in the process. It takes time but I know I will get there someday.
