Your value and self-worth is not found in your former lover, not in the loving words of they spoke, not in the gentle ways that they held you, not in the sweetness of their kiss; but found in the love that you have for yourself.

About This Quote

What you value in your lover is not the love that was there before. It’s the love that is still with you now, or could be if you allow it to grow. Think of your lover as a kind of mirror. The love that he or she shows is what you want to see reflected back at you; it’s what is most valuable about them to you.
