self-love

the only person who is going to love you just as you are, with the legs not long enough, one breast alarmingly smaller, with the little jealousies, quirkiness and obsessions, the nails that never seem to look perfect enough and the invisibly blond eyelashes, is you. if you expect other people to do this for you or before you, you're wasting your time.

Now that you've had time to think that through, do you still believe it? People are not loved for the symmetry of their breasts, or for any aspect of their nails or eyelashes. Of course you know this. And people are loved. You know this too.

And now it's happening. And instead of questioning or doubting it, I'm embracing it. It's a good feeling.

detox notes

3-Day Apple Diet Here is a cleansing regimen recommended in the medical readings of Edgar Cayce, the famous trance medium of the 20th century whose "channel" provided a wealth of information about nutritional healing.
