How can I love someone else if I don’t love myself

So, Emily would you be my valentine

I want to practice my love on you and bring you joy

So I will know what love feels like

Self love leads to true love

Yes, I will be my Valentine

    This is so sweet and introspective! 🩷 The idea of self-love paving the way for true love is beautifully expressed, and the twist of choosing oneself as a Valentine feels empowering. A gentle reminder that love starts within. 🌸
