“F.L.Y. First Love Yourself. Others will come next.”

Love yourself first, even if you’re madly in love with someone else. Love yourself, even if you have screwed things up. Even if you have made a lot of mistakes. Love yourself because that’s the only way to love your partner. Love yourself because that’s the only way to be happy. Because that’s the only way to live.

You are not allowed to love someone else more than you love yourself. You need to put your needs, wants, dreams and goals before your loved ones’. So choose to love yourself first before you chose to love him more. Self-love will make you more attractive and bring more attraction in your relationship. Appreciate yourself, your shortcomings, your flaws, and your mistakes. Appreciate everything that makes you, YOU!

Be authentic. Be yourself. 

Here’s an interesting video on loving yourself more than loving others:
