13.  It seems so much of my time and energy has been focused on making or trying to make other people love me. The unspoken belief was that if I could make myself lovable to others, I would feel loved. Therefore, I spent much of my life trying to be more beautiful, skinnier, funnier, sweeter, and on and on. Every time I felt sad and not accepted, I would try changing something about myself….but it isn’t about what anyone else thinks of me. The truth is, I can only feel loved by others when I love myself. If I don’t love myself, I will never feel loved.  -Kimberly Kerberger
