You should love yourself! And do it for you!!

I'm glad you found some inspiration, if you will, or motivation by your relationship with your boyfriend.

I know I get inspired, at times, by interactions with people. But I also know I can't hang that goal on one thing or for anybody.

It just is never rewarding is I still have still have a sense of. . . emptiness. Then the added pressure of letting someone down (at least for me).

Bottom line: congratulations! YOU. . . You did because you controlled it!

And for that, you deserve to be very proud. I smile!
