Recently, I have been using the phrase “in my self-love era.” I realized that I do not give myself enough credit. I have decided to put myself first and learn to love myself. I have been going to the gym, saying daily affirmations, and just loving who I am becoming. I am in love with who I am and how far I have come. I owe myself everything. I am the love OF my life. I hope others will continue to love themselves and blossom.
