6 Signs You Need More Self-Love
Looking for love is a quest that fuels endless drama, fills Amazon’s order queue, and funds dating service executives’ retirement accounts.
The drama plays out online, through texts and on Facebook.

“I understand self-love,” Adelaine wrote, “But I know I shouldn’t get too full of myself.”
“I bet the world would simply stop turning on its axis if that happened, Adelaine.“
“I have heard that concept of loving yourself first a hundred times, and it is just baloney,” Cindy told me. “I mean, what does that mean anyway?”
Cindy, I’m writing this blog for you. And I will tell you what it means.
