Self love & self understanding sometimes seem like a luxury or a selfish indulgence, but they aren't.

You wanna find courage? Find yourself. Love yourself. Stand up for yourself.

Loving others is equally important imo, but if you don't love & trust yourself, you will struggle to stand up for other people, because your doubts will get in the way.

If you aren't careful, you will talk yourself out of something you *know* is right, because you just can't take that step of acknowledging it.
