When I loved myself enough, I would sometimes wake in the night to music playing within me.

When I loved myself enough, I no longer needed things or people to make me feel safe.

When I loved myself enough, I let the tomboy in me swing off the rope in Jackass Canyon. Yes!

When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn't healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs and habits - anything that kept me small. My judgement called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.
