Love Yourself

What does it mean to truly love yourself?  Accepting who you are, knowing who you are, having respect for yourself.  Does everyone truly know who they are?  I am a woman who loves hard, cares for people, wants to be happy.  Many would say I’m nice, quiet, sweet; others may say I’m funny, sexy, creative, most like being around me.  I would say I’m caring, sensitive, I try to be a good mom but sometimes feel that I fall short.  When it comes to relationships with men, I need to get better.  Because I love hard and very deeply I accept less than what I want and deserve.  I want and deserve someone who truly loves and cares for me.  One who will care for my kids as though they were his.  One who will be there for me as I would be for him.  One who will be committed only to me.  I don’t want to share his heart with another.  So the question to be answered is do I love myself?  The answer:  I’m working on it.
