Advice from Alexis

you can search for love incessantly, but it won't find you until you find it for yourself

If you had told me I would’ve understood the concept of self-love 6 months ago, I would’ve laughed. After starting this journey in January, self-love has become of the most important aspects of my life and has helped me grow as an individual. What prompted me to start this journey was having my heart broken. Most people see breakups as a struggle, something difficult to get through, but it liberated and freed me in a way I never thought it would. I would thank my ex boyfriend for breaking my heart because I have never had so much faith in myself until after we ended things. Loving yourself is hard when you see all your flaws, but trying to recognize all the beautiful traits in yourself can be life changing. My advice is to indulge and explore self-love; it will do wonders for you and create a sense of bravery and strength you have never had before.
