5 Things That Happen When You Learn To Love Yourself
Brian Mchugh

So many beautiful things happen when you finally open your stubborn heart and learn to love yourself.

1. You accept your flaws and imperfections.

You'll find bruises aren't worth beating yourself up and put-downs won't ever lift you higher. You are you for a reason, quirks and mistakes and all. Adore who you are, what you've got, where you're at, and none of that minuscule nonsense will matter.

2. Your confidence raises through the roof.

Now that you've realized how amazing you are, nothing can stop you. No fear, no intimidation. You are self-assured in your actions here on out, and damn proud of them. Good for you, honestly. Not many people are considered to be this brave.

3. You stop feeling incomplete.

The search for more is put to rest. Because you are whole on your own. You fulfill yourself more than another human could. They'd just be an added bonus to your awesomeness.

4. You're ready to love another, the right way.

They say you must truly love yourself before properly loving another. And that's quite true. Insecurities destroy relationships. Appropriate self-love strengthens them.

5. You're happier than you've ever been.

After all, self-love is defined as regard for one's own well-being and happiness. And you found just that. Pure bliss at the end of your fingertips, without another hand to hold. Congrats on finally giving yourself the love you deserve from within.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
