You didn't earn your heart; you didn't pay for it. It was given to you as a gift. So take advantage of it, enjoy it, and treat yourself the best way possible. A lot of us are just getting through or managing. Raise your standards. Grow, progress, push yourself, and in turn you will love yourself more. And when you love yourself more, you can love others.

Vulnerability does not take away your strength

I think what doesn't kill you makes you a better human being. It opens your eyes, your heart, and your mind.
