You ask yourself if you have the courage to love someone without losing yourself. You ask yourself if you care enough for someone to allow them to live in their truth, even when their truth is an inconvenience or you hate their decision. You stand tall and say, “This is me. I am not perfect. I am not beautiful all the time. And even though I might hate where you are right now, I love you through this”. And most of all, you make sure that you are loving yourself enough first.
