If there’s one thing that I wish I would have known earlier, it would be the importance of loving yourself. I spent a lot of time and energy looking to love someone else. And as a teenager and in my early twenties, I thought that if I could find someone to love that they would complete me.
The scene in the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire stands out to me: Tom Cruise tells Renée Zellweger “You complete me.” It’s a great romantic moment, but I wouldn’t recommend you take this advice to heart.
