I was inspired to write The Journey to Self-Love to help others that have struggled with loving themselves. While my mother is, and always has been, an awesome mom, I feel like she did not teach my sister and I self-love. Probably because no one taught her. My lack of self-love was a factor in me being in some very toxic romantic relationships. Also, my lack of self-love caused some of my friendships to be imbalanced, with me getting the least out of the friendship. However, through my determination to turn my life around, rededicating my life to Christ, I was able to love myself, and make better decisions regarding the people I allow in my life, as well as setting boundaries and prioritizing.
