I Jumped On The Self-Love Bandwagon — Here’s Why.

I focused on a revolution for myself. A completely non-judgmental re-calibration of understanding what works for me and what doesn't work for me. An overhaul. I'm not quite sure why I was surprised at what I found. Because the answer to all of the questions I'd been asking was Love.
