Remember to take a moment and love little bits about yourself. That roll on your stomach is perfectly normal and having a flat stomach does not mean you’re healthy. Those stretch marks that run along your hips and arms are proof that you’ve grown. Those scars, no matter where they fall upon your skin, show that you are a survivor and that you can overcome these things. That gap between your teeth? A wonderful addition to your smile. Those eyes mismatching in color? They’re unique and beautiful. The callouses on your hands? They have character matching only to you. Love little things about yourself and, one by one, they’ll let you know that you’re fine just the way you are.

When Mr. Darcy said “I would have to tell you that you have bewitched me, body and sould, and I love... I love... I love you. I never wished to be parted from you from this day on.” and when Simon Hastings said “I am yours Daphne. I have always been yours.” and when Daphne Bridgerton said “It is you I cannot sacrifice. I burn... for you.” I felt that

“I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me. Love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person. Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of. Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”
