Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself

For those who know me, and for those who don't, I would like to welcome you into my world.

It's very fitting that I have decided to name this blog "Self Love." From my personal experiences, I've come to realize that, Self Love, was lacking in my own personal relationship with myself; and it took me being 1000 miles away from home, a changed plane ticket, a cab ride, and storming out of a empty hotel room for me to finally realize that I had no Self Love.

I know how to treat people. I know how to say please and thank you, because I was taught this at a young age. However, I wasn't taught how to treat myself. If you know me personally, you know that I'm not that bad off, as far as, education, and career. However, being 26, single, and just getting out of another failed relationship(only my 3rd), has lead me to question "How much am I loving myself?" Because, In all essence a lot of these situations could have been avoided If... I loved myself a little bit more.

I love being in control, and its ironic that the one thing I can control, Myself, is the one thing that I sometimes allow men or other people with power to control. Realizing this, I immediately decided to make some changes regarding my career. I know exactly where I want to be, and I wasn't there so I applied for jobs in a new city, I got the job and I'm moving to DC in less than a month.

This move has also allowed me to cut off old ties with men, and friends that were not adding any value to my life. I'm happy and excited, I've found a new love and appreciation for myself and I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for God putting me on this path to self love. I will be checking in with everyone every other day, if not daily. I want you to share in my experiences of Dating, Friendships, and Love. Until then stay Chocolate ;)
