Self Love Can Not Replace What Relationships Can Provide (& Vice Versa)

We're being force-fed hyper-independence masked by the word "self-love." 

• I don't encourage being in an unhealthy relationship over being single. 
• I'm not saying you can't be happy single. 
• I'm not saying you need to believe in the concepts of marriage or life partners.

Sometimes, we do need to turn our focus to improving our relationship with ourselves. However, the love you have for yourself can not do for you what receiving love from another can do for you. It can not teach you what partnerships can teach you.

What I am saying is we CAN balance our independence and self-love WITH actively and intentionally seeking a healthy relationship because if you aren't being active about it, it's not going to fall out of the sky.
