Fredrik Backman: "To love someone is like moving into a house. At first you fall in love with all the new things."

Falling in love with yourself is as beautiful as any experience of love is. It’s learning to laugh at your awkward tendencies and smile at all your quirky habits. It’s learning to be grateful for the many sides you have - confident, crazy, shy, sexy, nerdy, angry, weird, and all the rest of them. It is realizing that you’re one of a kind and that you deserve to give the world the best person you can be. Falling in love with yourself is being happy in your life and knowing that in this one moment in time, you’re beautiful simply because you are you. - Kovie Biakolo, Falling In Love With Yourself.

The only place you can really love another person is in the present. Love in the past is a memory. Love in the future is a fantasy. To be truly alive, love - or any other experience - must take place in the present moment.

You don’t have to change, you just have to find someone who loves you for who you are.
