I’m Grateful for Giving Myself love and acceptance via /r/gratitude

In this world people love us, but there is nobody who can love us more than we love ourselves. Today my girlfriend kept on responding to "I love you" with me too, and it made me feel hurt, but I realised nobody owes me love and nobody has to love me in the same way I love myself.

Sometimes it's difficult for other people to show their emotions, it's difficult for them to love as much as we love, or to give what we give. But at least, I've realised I'm more then enough at least to myself. I may not hear what I want to hear, but the truth is always better than sugarcoating. The truth is better even if hurtful.

At the very least…to myself, I know I am loved, I know that I am more than enough and I know that no matter where I'll be or how things will go, that at the very least I have my family and me with me.

I am more than enough. I am me…and that's all I really see.
