They say the golden rule is, "Treat others the way you want to be treated." But that's noise. "Treat yourself the way you want to be treated."
Inside goes out and hits you like a boomerang.
I spent my life treating others the way I wanted to be treated-- but I was never so kind to myself-- I became resentful of others, angry with myself, an asshole in general and the cycle persisted. I was so mean to myself I gave others permission to be mean to me. Silly human.
I'm in this pretty thick right now and loving yourself is hard when you don't really know what it means... This helped me simplify; be kind to yourself.
I'm not saying people hurting you is your fault but when you're kind to yourself you will know what "kind" looks like and you won't hang out with meanies.
