A lot of people you know are frantically searching for love from people around. They keep placing a demand on others for love and the most painful part of this is how they neglect their own selves.
Toxic relationships are a result of loving people who have no interest in loving themselves. Let’s explore the idea of self-love in this collection of inspiring quotes.
