Love thyself and others will follow

All my life I've longed for love, yet
failed to look within. I sought acceptance
from total strangers until I finally
realized that...I was my true best friend!

With time, I learned to love myself by
forgiving and forgetting all the mistakes
of the past.   I began to accept myself
for who I really was, and built a high
confidence level that was sure to last!

I applied my newfound knowledge to
others, and after awhile I found... 

...true Love was in my midst at last. 

All I had to do was search INSIDE before 
I looked around.
