Only embracing relationships where I amrespected and accepted for who I am. Being honest with myself and my loved onesabout my insecurities and challenges; owning it. Showing the kindness andunderstanding to myself that I would show a friend. Reframing; looking at pastevents and choices with understanding and compassion and without judgement.’You are worthy, and you deserve relationships that are built on respect andkindness, relationships that also nourish you and add to your life.
