Meilleure citation de Rethinking Self-Love: Beyond the Myths

Self-love isn't actually a feeling at all—it's a relationship with yourself that requires intention, practice, and repair, just like any other relationship. It's not about feeling good all the time, but about how you treat yourself when you're at your lowest.
