I forgive you because I love you, but I walk away because I love myself

A “I love you” and a “I love myself” do not need to compete with each other, but it will always be convenient that, in our life, we put our well-being first so that we don’t get hurt.

Before we say a sincere and emotional “I love you”, we should tell ourselves “I love myself and I deserve to be happy”.

It is not easy to separate these two spheres so intimate and complex, which are the needs of oneself and one’s own partner. However, it is vital to be aware of our self-esteem and our identity.

If you have ever experienced this moment when you had to leave the person you loved because you were aware that maintaining the relationship was as painful as it was self-destructive, then you will undoubtedly know how difficult it is to make this decision.

Something everyone should know is that authentic love doesn’t hurt.

Love must be beautiful and comforting, so that “I love you” and “I love myself” are not like water and oil.

Those who do not love themselves will hardly be able to establish a sincere and healthy relationship with another person. Love is built every day, but it is necessary that there is a will on both sides and that one does not seek exclusively to satisfy one’s own needs. Only when we feel like a complete person, without fear of loneliness and who knows how to build happiness, will we be able to give the best of ourselves to the other person.

Self-love is what gives us the personal courage capable of leaving something when it no longer has a future, when it no longer sustains itself, when what brings us more tears than joy.

Don’t forget: you will never be selfish for saying to yourself every day: “I love myself and I deserve to be happy”.
