Why spend even one day searching for someone else when it could take a lifetime to find yourself?

This beautiful man gets me every time!

James Norton for Smythson

It’s all about learning how to respect yourself. It takes a while, you may struggle from time to time, but it’s all about you. We are the only ones with 100% power over ourselves, your mind will believe everything you tell it. Make it think positive thoughts. You have multiple choices in this world and you could change something in a day. Nothing good comes out of hating ourselves, but everything good comes out of loving ourselves. I say, if loving yourself is too much, learn to like yourself first. It’s hard to go from constant insulting yourself to constant complimenting yourself. Take it slow, you’ll get there. Distance yourself from the negativity and triggers and surround yourself in positivity and thinks that make you glad you’re alive.

Elegant and comfy conversation seating.

Carmen (Stage) (1938). Everett Shinn (American, 1876-1953). Oil on canvas laid down on panel.

Shinn’s compositions and perspectives were varied, somewhat like Degas. Here, Carmen dances away from the other performers to what appears to be an outdoors stage. It is far from clear where the audience is located or, indeed, if there is an audience.

My first love showed me everything I couldn’t live without. He also showed me everything I would never tolerate, ever again.
