Quote of the Week

“We accept the love we think we deserve.” ― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Even if it is in our subconscious minds, I think this quote speaks the truth… or at least some level of truth. I think we often accept how we are treated and how we are loved based on our own self-worth. I think there are situations where we all want better for ourselves, but we allow things to remain the way they are for any number of reasons.

But to me, the fact of the matter is this:

We all deserve to be loved better than what we think we’re worthy of. We deserve to be loved in a way that makes us feel happy, valued, and safe, and we should all love in a way that makes others feel happy, valued, and safe. We deserve to be loved well. And we should also accept nothing less from ourselves – we should love ourselves well.
