Snuggly stories read at bedtime and incredible animated movies linger
in the back of your brain long after The End. You drift off to sleep with neat endings and
all is well tucked safely in your amazing heart. You carry the stories so long,
you hardly notice they are still there. . .
You continue to learn in subtle and not so subtle ways that you need
someone to love you, save you and understand you on a deep level. A prince goes
with a princess. Sunsets are for lovers.
You dream of the One, your soulmate and your other half.
But, nobody is coming to save you.
It’s time to gently awaken from the fantasy. You have been lied to and
misled.
It’s on you to save you.
It’s on you to love you, save you and understand you on a deep level.
It’s on you to be responsible for your emotions and actions. It’s on you to
feel complete.
It’s your right and responsibility to give yourself the love you were
taught to give to others. Give this love to yourself first. Love yourself fully and first then unconditional
love organically ripples out from your heart center to all.
Self-love doesn’t make you selfish or uncaring, it makes you
indestructible. It’s giving yourself permission to become deeply happy with all
that you are now and sharing it in a way that feels comfortable for you. In
ways that don’t look like the old fairy tales.
Self-love is treating yourself as well as you treat others before you care
for others. It’s eliminates people pleasing. It’s realizing you don’t need to
be fixed and the only time you are broken is when you believe it. The only
time you are alone or separate is when you think or believe it.
It’s beyond time to stop believing in the toxic social conditioning and
comparison that hurts. You are worthy of big love.
It’s time to stop waiting and save yourself.
Start with unconditional love.
Start with yourself.
Start now.
Self-love is the gift you give to yourself that we all feel love from. Self-love
is a new empowered ending for your love story.
Love On,
Risa
