FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE WE NEGOTIATE WITH INSECURITIES

For the sake of love, we give and give. We take away from ourselves. Slowly we change, believing that in order to be loved we must behave a certain way. In the midst of it all, we find ourselves in unknown territory. For the sake of love, we give and we give. Unaware of the smallest details of how we got there, we become someone else and in the process we are lost. 

Here's a little inspiration to get you going from Katy Perry's Love me.

Don't negotiate with your insecurities. Don't allow them get the best of you. Don't second guess yourself. Be the one to define who you're gonna be. Love yourself the way you want to be loved.

I lost myself in fear of losing you
I wish I didn't do
But I did
I lost my own, my own identity
Forgot that you picked me for me

But now, I don't negotiate with insecurities
They always seem to get the best of me
I found I had to love myself, the way I wanted you to love me

No more second guessing
No, there’s no more questioning
I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

Sometimes I wish my skin was a costume
That I could just unzip... and strip
But who I am is who I'm meant to be
And it's who you are in love, in love with

So now, I don't negotiate with insecurities
They're gonna have to take a back seat
I know I have to love myself, the way I want you to love me

No more second guessing
No, there’s no more questioning
I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

No more standing in my own way
Let's go deeper, let's get closer
No more standing in my own way
(I want you to love me)

No more second guessing
No, there’s no more questioning
I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing my feelings, or changing seasonally
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

No more second guessing
No, there’s no more questioning
I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me
