Wild how we often build the perfect gift for someone else… only to realize it was the thing we needed all along.

Sometimes the real act of love is finally giving ourselves what we kept trying to earn from others.

Beautiful piece.

Such a beautifully written piece!

tender, honest, and quietly powerful.

I loved the insight that sometimes the gifts we give are the ones we’ve been needing ourselves.

You spoke the needed.

You don't give in expectancy of something in return.

You give expecting nothing in return. That is the best gift you can offer.

Cheers girl. Loving your self is a must too.

We need to grow and satisfy ourselves before we put anyone else ahead of us. Self love is the most important love - beautiful written piece

This is really good. And I really do agree. I give Gifts but never wait for something in return. I give because I want to give and not because I want something back.

I believe in self regulation and giving yourself what you need.

I also believe relationships are give and take on an emotional as well as a material level.

Enjoyed your story telling approach to this.

I give you the gift of subscribing🎁😆
