Let’s be honest—there’s no escaping yourself. You wake up with yourself, eat with yourself, overthink late at night with yourself. And yet, how often do we check in, the way we would with a close friend?
A lot of us spend our energy looking outward—seeking validation, connection, or just a sense of belonging. But the real magic happens when we turn that energy inward. When we start to see ourselves as someone worth investing in.
What does that even mean?
For some, it’s about setting boundaries (yes, even the uncomfortable ones). For others, it’s about carving out small, meaningful rituals—like a slow morning tea or an evening walk—moments that remind us we’re worthy of care.
It’s also about how we talk to ourselves. If your inner voice was a person, would you want to be friends with them? If not, maybe it’s time to rewrite the script.
At the end of the day, every relationship in our lives is shaped by how we see ourselves. When we show up for ourselves with the same love, patience, and respect we give to others, we set the tone for how we want to be treated.
So if you’re going to invest in a relationship, let it be this one. After all, you’re the only person you’re guaranteed to spend forever with.
